What does the Red Sea look like?

The Red Sea is located between northeastern Africa and the Arabian Peninsula and is the dividing line between Asia and Africa. The Red Sea is very narrow and long, about 1,900 kilometers long, and only over 300 kilometers at its widest point. The northern end of the Red Sea is divided into two small bays. The western bay is called the Gulf of Suez, which is closely connected to the Mediterranean Sea through the Suez Canal that runs through the Isthmus of Suez; the eastern bay is called the Gulf of Aqaba. The southern end of the Red Sea is connected to the Gulf of Aden and the Indian Ocean through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, becoming an important channel connecting the Mediterranean and the Arabian Sea. It is also an important oil transportation channel. The Red Sea is very rich in mineral deposits. The soft mud on the seabed contains iron, zinc, copper, lead, silver, gold and other substances. Although the Red Sea has been an important transportation route since ancient times, it is difficult to navigate due to its rocky islands and coral reefs along the coast, and the narrow and stormy Bab el-Mandeb Strait. However, there are many ports, the important ones include Suez, Port Sudan, and Assab.

When traveling to the Red Sea, be sure to try water-friendly activities such as diving, fishing, and sea sightseeing. The waves on the coast of the Red Sea lap gently on the beach, and the breeze caresses the water. It is gentle and elegant. Everyone who comes here will be intoxicated and forget to leave. Someone once praised the Red Sea: "Only this place in the world can have such golden mountains and colorful sea caves." Hurghada, Sharm el-Sheikh and other coastal cities have many famous bathing beaches and sea entertainment place. The best time to travel to cities along the Red Sea such as Hurghada and Sharm el-Sheikh is from October to May of the following year. This is the most suitable season for diving in the Red Sea. The weather is cool and the visibility of the water is high. , the water temperature is also very suitable for diving, but at other times the waves are strong and the water is very cold, so you need to wear a thicker wetsuit when diving, which is inconvenient.

The most unique thing about the Red Sea is its "heat". The Red Sea is in a tropical desert climate zone, with high temperatures all year round, scarce precipitation, and high evaporation. The annual average water temperature on the surface of the earth's oceans is 17 degrees Celsius, while the surface water temperature of the Red Sea can reach 27 to 32 degrees Celsius in August. Even deep water below 200 meters can reach about 21 degrees Celsius. The strangest thing is that in the deep sea of ??the Red Sea, seafloor expansion has caused cracks in the earth's crust. Magma continues to rise along the cracks, and the seafloor rocks are heated. Therefore, the water temperature at the bottom of the sea is extremely high, sometimes as high as 60 degrees Celsius.

In addition to the mystery of the Red Sea itself, the ocean itself is a beautiful scenery. The Red Sea coast is famous for its sparkling beaches, beautiful Coral Sea and rich marine life. The characteristic port on the Red Sea is Safajah. The Red Sea has very salty water and black mud beaches. It is one of the most suitable resorts in the world for health resorts. It can treat rheumatism and skin diseases.

Whenever the hot wind blows rapidly to the east, the Red Sea immediately becomes a paradise for birds, because at this time the birds also migrate to the Red Sea.

The Red Sea is also home to colorful fish, many beautiful corals, and various rare marine creatures, and is very rich in biological resources. The water of the Red Sea is crystal clear. Looking into the distance where the sea and the sky meet, it is a clear blue, which is very beautiful.
