As for the reason for this name, because he got the story of Cool tells the story of the island "that one day he was a resident of the island looking for his son, which was delayed from returning home to Morocco, as well as a population, too, went looking for his daughter, who was delayed at the same time, As they were going to discuss about their children, they met an old man as he was returning from that place, they asked him about their two sons, the individual they: are in the "Paris", and that time called the "Paris", when it's combination of beauty and romance.

There is a single investor on the island, as Mohammed Zubairy, hotel manager, "Kamran", we asked him about the reason for the absence of investment, he pointed out that he is serving its twelfth year since opening the hotel.






He said that despite facing all this time a very large problems, including: lack of coordination among the relevant actors in dealing with licenses granted to him.






He continued: If the country needs to boost investment or support of investors, it must have the infrastructure and coordination among stakeholders in order not to introduce investors in trouble with the visitors and tourists, "My problem is I am a single investor, and investors fled whenever he came." When I asked him why he said: "Let the bodies concerned to answer that."






Asked why the lack of tourists visiting the island said: a slump in tourism in recent years, and I said visitors due to lack of coordination involved, if they did not coordinate and will collapse resulting tourism and investment in a year.

Markets Pearl






Kamaran of the most important Yemeni islands, and the largest is located in the Red Sea, an area of approximately 220 square kilometers, there are three villages, namely: Kamran (city center), and the village of Makram, and the village of Yemen. And was considered Kamaran islands important for maritime traffic in the past, and was the first entry of Yemen, both of commercial vessels or for the pilgrims that used to go to Saudi Arabia. As is the way of vessels invading the island of Kamran first leg of the reign of the Ethiopian, and then successively attention, and until the late sixties, the island was considered quarantine only in the region for all the ships of the pilgrims that go to Saudi Arabia, as well as being the first place for marketing the Pearl in the Middle East , where marketers pearls come from the Gulf states; to Isoqgua their wares on the island, Add to that the historical significance of the island that no one can be ignored from a strategic point; because it controls the most important waterways, is the largest island in terms of population.






Island "Qumran"






On the morning of the second day of our visit to the island, we went on board the boat to a protected Shura North, before we got to the reserve about a quarter of an hour we saw in the midst of the sea a straight line of water is different from the color of the color of seawater, so I asked the driver of the boat for what we saw and said: "This place is the reason for naming the island as the "Qumran."






Described to me the place, "if you stood in the middle of the night you see the moon from both sides, ie, if left to the right see the moon midst of the sea, and if left to the left see the moon as well, and for this reason named the island as" the island of Qumran, "but after that the solution British on the island were Intqunha "Kamran", instead of "Qumran" became known as "Kamran" since then.






Environmental disaster






Threaten the marine waters of Yemen environmental disaster in the extinction of marine life, mainly fisheries.






Mohammed Zubairy confirms that the fishermen on the island, they began to be adversely affected by the source of their livelihood; because of large fishing boats that come from neighboring countries such as Egypt, for example, come in and washing away everything in its path from the fish.






The Zubairy the Egyptians are the first entrance to the fishing companies arrogant and reckless in the hunt all the fish big and small, and asserts that there are hands in the country to cooperate with these companies, and help them to destroy the marine environment, and in several cases that came to the courts, but marginalized by the judiciary.






The Ahmed Bakiri, Veshkoa low control marine and allow companies to Egyptian fishing action bombs into the sea, some of which are the cliff-like Bmahrtp farms that sweep everything and everybody, this has the shelf to the extinction of some fish and disappear completely so that the fisherman, a Yemeni who hunt the traditional way he gets Day 150 to 200 kg, they now only receive 15 to 20 kilometers, or interest is to become fishermen Egyptians and influential Yemenis.






Education






Island schools suffer from the lack of a teacher of physics and biology, and in this regard, said Othman, who said earlier that education is moving in the island a good degree, however, there are disadvantages, such as students from dropping out because of difficult living conditions. He noted that the literacy rate in the island up to about 70 percent, and most of the teachers of the children of the island, there are also a private elementary school for girls only (from first grade to sixth grade), a teacher, "Hope."






It emphasizes "that the island faces the problem of availability of some scientific disciplines, such as physics, biology, and therefore the lack of teachers, nor do we have any training institutes, whether professional or other, but after high school, who wants to continue to go to other provinces, and we are working to assist the work of the Note to cooperate with him in any university.
