	Dahlak Archipelago - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Dahlak archipelago is an island group located in the Red Sea off Massawa, Eritrea.
		According to Edward Ullendorff, the Dahlak islanders were amongst the first in East Africa to convert to Islam, and a number of tombstones in Kufic writing attest to this early connection.
		In the late 19th century, the islands became part of the Italian protectorate of Eritrea, which was formed in 1885, and afterwards was part of the history of that territory through its independence in 1993.
