I am pursuing a degree in Urban Development, focusing on Urban Sociology and I would like to have suggestion so as to where this can lead me as I am sort of lost at the moment.
The ancient port of Myos Hormos was established by the Ptolemies on the western coast of the Red Sea in Egypt. It witnessed great interaction between the Ptolemaic kingdom and later the Roman Empire and Eastern nations like India and China. However I found two sets of evidence regarding two different presumed locations of the port: one just north to the Egyptian city of Hurghada and the other north of the Egyptian city of Alqussair. Those locations are around 170 kilometers apart. Any further information on Red Sea ports will be very much appreciated

I have a friend who had just acquired her masters degree in the field of Architecture from the American University in Cairo. And she is looking a university or a research center where she can work on her PhD. Her master thesis was about retrofitting of existing buildings in order to reach a net-zero energy situation. A PhD research should be in the same field. Any suggestions?

Is it only the shore, a narrow strip of land bordering the sea? Or does it have a certain depth agreed upon in academia? Or does it go on until it faces a different geographical feature such as a mountain, a river,..., etc.?
