Ar Kaweit


Ar Kaweit, also spelled as Arkawit or Erkowit, is a small town in eastern Sudan. It is around from the Red Sea and around from Sudan's 2nd largest city, Port Sudan. It is at a elevation sitting atop a flat mountain. Nearby towns are Carthago, Sinkat, and Gebeit. It is also approximately from the Nile River. It has a mosque, a school, and a park near it.
On 25 November 1942, a Royal Air Force crashed near Ar Kaweit. The crew set out from Wadi Gazouza Airport for a training exercise. Regrettably, the aircraft did not make it back, and on 31 December, its wreckage was located near Ar Kaweit. This incident resulted in the loss of all three crew members: Sgt Clive Colin Dunstone, Sgt John Skinner, and Sgt James Murray Thomson.
