From International Sanitary Conventions to Local Quarantine Practice: Camaran Island in the Late Ottoman Pilgrim Traffic Regulations

Öz

This study evaluates Camaran Island’s strategic, political, and sanitary significance in the late Ottoman era, focusing on its role in the international regulation of Hajj voyages and within the broader architecture of global health governance. At the Red Sea’s southern gateway, Camaran operated as the principal quarantine station for pilgrims moving between India and the Hejaz, while also serving as both an expression of Ottoman administrative authority and a node of British imperial surveillance. Drawing on British and Ottoman archives, the study shows how Camaran became both a medical frontier and a geopolitical battleground. Placing the island within late-nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century international sanitary conventions and conferences, it underscores the institutionalization of inter-imperial cooperation against epidemics and the concurrent reconfiguration of global power within the Eastern Mediterranean and Red Sea. Highlighting the intersection of religion, empire, and public health, the article shows how sanitary measures and infrastructure became instruments of sovereignty and control. Adopting historical international relations approach, the study evaluates Camaran’s quarantine regime within the geopolitical and sanitary dynamics of the Eastern Mediterranean and the Red Sea, offering an original contribution to the field by demonstrating how Ottoman–British rivalry shaped maritime health governance and the regulation of Hajj traffic.
