Myos Hormos was a Red Sea port constructed by the Ptolemies around the 3rd century BC.

A few of its main destinations were the Indus delta and the Kathiawar peninsula in India. According to Strabo (II.5.12), by the time of Augustus, up to 120 ships were setting sail every year from Myos Hormos to India.
