Several interpretations have been given for the "meeting of the two seas" (Majma' al-Bahrayn). It was said that they are the Persian and Roman seas (the sea of the East and the West), or Africa, or Tangier, or the Kar and the Rass rivers where they flow into the sea. Sayyid Qutb favored the interpretation that they are the Roman Sea and the Sea of Qulzum (the Mediterranean and the Red Sea), and their meeting point is in the region of the Bitter Lakes and Lake Timsah, or the confluence of the Gulfs of Aqaba and Suez in the Red Sea.
