The legend of Port Ghalib says that at the turn of the first millennium, a young man named Ghalib founded the port after a rival for the hand of his true love arranged for his trade ships to be barred from entering the port of Aidhab. After the port was established, or so the legend says, the rival tried to destroy it by sending a fleet of warships to attack the port, but a fleet of ancient ghost ships appeared and frightened the attackers away, leaving Port Ghalib free to become a thriving port for trade, and Ghalib himself free to marry the woman he loved.
