Red Sea

The Red Sea is the inland sea of ​​the Indian Ocean, stretching between Asia and Africa in a tectonic depression. To the south, the Red Sea connects with the Indian Ocean, and to the north are the Sinai Peninsula, the Gulf of Aqaba and the Suez Canal. The Red Sea is about 2350 kilometers long and 350 kilometers wide. The greatest measured depth is 2,500 meters in the central parts of its total area of ​​450,000 square kilometers. 
A peculiarity of the Red Sea is the fact that no river flows into it. That is why the water of the Red Sea is crystal clear. The climate along its shores is dry and warm, and the air temperature in the coldest period is about 20-25 degrees, and August does not exceed 35-40 degrees.
From a geological point of view, the Red Sea is located in the reef zone on the border between the African and Arab lithosphere plates. The Red Sea is a young sea that began about 40 million years ago when the East African Fault formed. The African lithosphere plate separates from the Arabian plate and a hollow forms between them in the earth's crust, which gradually fills with seawater. 
In the past, the Egyptians called the Red Sea in the same way as the Mediterranean Sea - "Wadji-oirit" ("Big Green"), and during the era of Ramses III it was called "Sea Cody".
