There are several theories as to why the Red Sea is called the Red Sea. One possible reason is the seasonal flowering of algae in the sea (guess what color they bloom in), but there are also theories that the name came from the nearby Harei Edom mountains which are rich in minerals.
Why visit the Red Sea?
Because there you can see beautiful coral beaches and incredibly exotic moments during diving, because the sea is extremely transparent and rich in various egoistic fish of colorful colors.
The Red Sea, the marginal sea of the Indian Ocean, between the African mainland and the Arabian Peninsula; covers 448,000 km².
It is connected to the Mediterranean Sea by the Suez Canal.
Slightly indented, mostly sandy shore is bordered by coral reefs.
The Red Sea is characterized by the appearance of mirages. The color of the sea water is blue-green, often green-yellow from various algae and desert sand.
About 400 fish species live in the Red Sea. Due to the unfavorable climate, the low and predominantly narrow coastal plain is sparsely populated; the connections of the coast with the direct mountain and desert hinterland are few. Fishing (tuna, sardines, Indian mackerel, etc.) and coral extraction are widespread. Very rich ore deposits (copper, zinc, silver, gold) are located between Sudan and Arabia at a depth of about 2000 m. As the shortest waterway between Europe and Asia and Australia, respectively, the Red Sea has great traffic importance.
