Dabenarti is an island in Sudan, situated in the middle of the Nile near the Second Cataract.
It is close to Mirgissa, 900 metres (3,000 ft) from its east wall,[1] and about 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) south of the Buhen fortress.
A fortress on the island was attributed to the Egyptian Nubian period.
Landing at the island fort, measuring 60 by 230 metres (200 ft × 750 ft) in size,[2] was difficult, and it was never completed.
[contradictory][3] With the collapse of Egyptian power at the end of the Middle Kingdom, Dabenarti was abandoned around 1700 BC.
