Badi, Sudan

Badi was a medieval port of the Beja in what is now Sudan, near its Eritrean border. It was located "on the southern tip of Er Rih or al-Rih island".[1]

Although not as important as Aydhab to its north, Badi was prosperous between the 10th and 13th centuries before the site was abandoned in favor of Suakin.[2]
