The Red sea
The coasts of the Red sea spread from the gulf of Suez up to the border with Sudan. The reddish color of its mountains or the presence of a few floating red seaweed are probably the cause from which the sea has received this name.
In the extensive platforms of the Red sea, of scarce depth, there exists an abundant marine life and large number of corals. The popularity of this sea goes back to ancient times, since already in the Bible it turns out to be said, in the moment in which Cradle and its people cross it during its exit of Egypt.
This sea is known by its strong winds and currents. In spite of everything, it lodges also numerous suitable tourist areas to practise diving.
