A Latin inscription dating from 144 AD has been found on the island which attests to the construction of a Roman garrison. It is believed that the islands may have been attached to the province of Arabia Felix, before being transferred to Aegyptus some time before 144 AD.[9] After a French engineer investigated petroleum seeps on the islands in 1912, a 75-year concession was granted to the Red Sea oilfields.[10] At the time, the Farasan Islands supported a small fishing industry.[11] Tourism and fishing also play a role in the economy. Farasan Island is connected to Jezan port by ferry. See also
