The Red Sea




The Red Sea is a wonderful place to visit it is mostly popular for its beautiful coral reefs. Scuba diving is really common here as well as boating; surfing on the waves of the Red Sea is such a wonderful thing feeling the wind blowing in your face. The Red Sea is seawater of the Indian Ocean lying between Africa and Asia. The Red Sea has a surface area of roughly 438,000 km². It is about 2250 km (1398 miles) long and, at its widest point, is 355 km (220.6 miles) wide. It has a maximum depth of 2211 meters (7254 feet). The Red Sea has extensive shallow shelves, noted for their marine life and corals. The sea is the habitat of over 1,000 invertebrate species, and 200 soft and hard corals. It is the world's northernmost tropical sea. Comeing here was really nice when I went diving it was a really great adventure and wish to come back again pretty soon.
