The opening as it read in 2010
Port of Gaza is in the Rimal district of Gaza and home to the Palestinian Naval Police force. Originally the name of the Port city was Maioumas which is linked to a licentious Pagan festival. The Port of Gaza was at the end of the Nabataean spice road . Where trade with the West in herbs, spices incense, drapery, glass and food on the backs of camels came from Southern Arabia (the Kingdom of Sheba ) through Petra , the Arava Valley and crossing Negev Desert via Avdat and ending at the port of Gaza for dispatched to the European markets. Alexander Jannaeus ' conquest of Gaza (99 BCE) that denied the Nabateans access to the port and trade with Rome led to Obodas launching a military campaign against the Hasmonean King. The destruction of the Hasmonean army in the Golan Heights precipitated a decline in Hasmonean fortunes. Gaza Port was rebuilt after it was incorporated into the Roman Empire in 63 BCE under the command of Pompey Magnus and trade routes were reopened. Rimal is the lone elite district of the city.1
