    Tips

    September 29, 2025

    The name Ophir appears several times in the Old Testament, including to designate a land distant from Israel where gold was collected. The gold of Ophir is often referred to as a separate gold, which may be due to the joint expedition of King Solomon and King Hiram (Tyre, Phoenicia) that set sail from the Red Sea and brought back 14 or 15 tons of gold from Ophir (1 Kings 9:26-28; 2 Chronicles 8:17-18). Thus, the Portuguese beach may be related to a new Ophir discovered by the Phoenicians. A famous local legend, the "legend of the horses of Phanus," even claims that "the biblical Ophir" was located in the place of modern Ophir.
