What is the Red Sea like?

The Red Sea is located between northeast Africa and Arabian Peninsula, which is the dividing line between Asia and Africa. The Red Sea is very long and narrow, about 1900 kilometers long, and the widest place is only over 300 kilometers. The northern end of the Red Sea is divided into two small bays, the western bay is called Suez Bay, which is closely connected with the Mediterranean Sea through the Suez Canal which runs through the Suez Isthmus. Dongwan is called Aqaba Bay. The southern end of the Red Sea is connected with the Gulf of Aden and the Indian Ocean through the Mande Strait, becoming an important channel connecting the Mediterranean Sea and the Arabian Sea, and also an important oil transportation channel. The Red Sea is rich in mineral resources, and the seabed ooze contains iron, zinc, copper, lead, silver, gold and other substances. Although the Red Sea has been a traffic artery since ancient times, it is difficult to sail because of rocky islands and coral reefs along the coast and the narrow and stormy Mande Strait, but there are also many ports, including Suez, Port Sudan and Assab.

When you visit the Red Sea, you must try some hydrophilic activities, such as diving, fishing and sea sightseeing. The waves along the coast of the Red Sea beat the beach, and the breeze gently blew the water, gentle and elegant. Everyone who comes here will indulge in it and linger. Someone once praised the Red Sea like this: "Only this place in the world can have such golden mountains and colorful caves in the sea." There are many famous beaches and sea amusement places in coastal cities such as Helgada and Sharm el-Sheikh. The best time to travel to the cities along the Red Sea is from June 5438 to May of the following year, which is the most suitable time to dive in the Red Sea. The weather is cool, the visibility of seawater is high, and the water temperature is also suitable for diving. At other times, the wind and waves are heavy and the water is very cold, so it is not convenient to wear a thick diving suit when diving.

The most special thing about the Red Sea is its "heat". The Red Sea is located in the tropical desert climate zone, with high temperature all year round, scarce precipitation and large evaporation. The annual average water temperature of the ocean surface on the earth is 17 degrees Celsius, while the surface water temperature of the Red Sea can reach 27 ~ 32 degrees Celsius in August, even in the deep water below 200 meters, it can reach about 2 1 degree Celsius. The strangest thing is that in the deep sea of the Red Sea, the expansion of the seabed has caused cracks in the earth's crust, magma has been upwelling along the cracks, and the rocks on the seabed have been heated, so the water temperature on the seabed is particularly high, sometimes as high as 60 degrees Celsius.

Apart from 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 seas and rich marine life. Safaga is a special port on the Red Sea, with high salt water and black mud beaches. It is one of the most suitable resorts for recuperation and vacation in the world. It can treat rheumatism and dermatosis.

Whenever hot air blows rapidly to the east, the Red Sea immediately becomes a paradise for birds, because migratory birds also migrate to the shores of the Red Sea.

The Red Sea is rich in colorful fish, many beautiful corals and various rare marine life. The water in the Red Sea is crystal clear. Looking at the sea and sky in the distance, it is blue and beautiful.
