The authentic name of “Addaera” is the Arabic word commonly used in the gulf region of the astrolabe / marine compass, which has played a crucial role in the past as guiding ways of sailing Arabian ships from the Arabian peninsula to the surrounding regions especially through turbulent seas. It has played a support tool to sustain the flow of basic and trading goods to the area in the past.
