I live in Arish and found all sorts of errors in the existing article. There is no marina - there are not several luxury hotels (only one hotel that merits five stars) and other errors. Would sometime to contact me to help me learn how to edit. This is my first experience except as a reader. Olsong (talk) 19:15, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

Israeli forces under Sharon, a genius military strategist, were on the main highway to Cairo, when a panicked Egypt begged the USSR and USA to pressure Israel into a ceasefire.

message: This BBC site says that four men that were being sought in connection with 
the April 2005 triple suicide bombing in the north Sinai town of Dahab turned themselves in on May 11 and 12 of 2005 in Al Arish. Please also see this site. The BBC said Egyptian authorities said the men were part of "Tawhid wal Jihad." I'll be trying to find other Al Arish references, specifically if anything happened to it in the Six Day War since it was in the area taken over. My recollection was that it was bombed during this time. Scrolling southwest from Gaza, this Google map of this area now shows it looking built up and inhabited. Now that I'm looking this up it seems Al Arish has been in the news other times since the Six Day War.

message: Does anybody have information about the old minaret at El Arish?  Specifically, I'm seeking images of the minaret and its location (latitude and longitude).
It's my understanding that the minaret was/is a very noticable structure, viewable from the sea, that was/is often used as a reference for ship/boat navigation.Ken (talk) 20:30, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

message: there is no reason to capitalise the al or el in arabic names in the middle of an English sentence. It's like calling the Atlantic "The Atlantic" in the middle of a sentence, it makes you think you are talking about the magazine, not the ocean. For a good look at the use of articles in arabic, the al-Qaeda article jumps to mind. Brinerustle (talk) 19:05, 16 January 2018 (UTC)

message: The article mentions a World War One military cemetery there designed by Robert Lorimer (who was in charge of war memorials and cemeteries in Egypt and much of the eastern Mediterranean). The only ref is to an offline source with no useful details provided. No such cemetery is listed on the Commonwealth War Graves Commission website (the official body responsible for such places) and I can't find any other references, even on websites too informal to be reliable sources. I'm guessing this is an error and it's confused with somewhere else; possibly Kantara/Qantara on the Suez Canal to where the article mentions some dead people being brought. --Colapeninsula (talk) 16:24, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
