The Red Sea is a seawater inlet of the Indian Ocean, lying between Africa and Asia.The connection to the ocean is in the south through the Bab el Mandeb strait and the Gulf of Aden. In the north, there is the Sinai Peninsula, the Gulf of Aqaba, and the Gulf of Suez leading to the Suez Canal .
The Name
Red Sea is a direct translation of the Greek Erythra Thalassa . Arabic Al-Baḥr Al-Aḥmar or Baḥr Al-Qalzam.The name of the sea may signify the seasonal blooms of the red-coloured Trichodesmium erythraeum[ is a type of filamentous cyanobacteria] near the water's surface.
Another hypothesis is that the name comes from the Himyarite, a local group whose own name means red.
It is theorized that it was named so because it borders the Egyptian Desert, which the ancient Egyptians called the Dashret or "red land"; therefore it would have been the sea of the red land.The mountains surrounding the red sea [ Red Sea Mountains]is high and reddish in color.
The Red Sea is one of four seas named in English with color terms [ the Black Sea, the White Sea and the Yellow Sea].
Its History
The earliest known exploration of the Red Sea was conducted by Ancient Egyptians, as they attempted to establish commercial routes to Punt [type of boats]. One such expedition took place around 2500 BC, and another around 1500 BC. Both involved long voyages down the Red Sea.
Along the history there were many attempts to connect The Red Sea with The White Sea ,that ends with The Suez Canal ,that was opened in November 1869.
The Tourism
The sea is known for its spectacular sport diving sites, such as Ras Mohammed ,and Rocky Island in Egypt and less known sites in Sudan such as Sanganeb, Abington, Angarosh and Shaab Rumi .Popular tourist resorts include El Gouna, Hurghada, Safaga, Marsa Alam, on the western shore of the Red Sea, and Sharm-El-Sheikh, Dahab, and Taba on the Egyptian side of Sinaï, as well as Aqaba in Jordan and Eilat in Israel in an area known as the Red Sea Riviera.
Tourism in the South of the Red Sea is presently considered risky because of the presence of pirates originating from uncontrolled zones of Somalia. Large vessels such as cargoes are sometimes attacked by heavily armed high-speed boats. The situation is even worse in the Gulf of Aden between Somalia and Yemen.
Under the red sea you can see different colors and shapes of fish. I had never dive under the red sea but I had tried to imagine what is there and I designed that picture .
I designed it with Illustrator ,using the Symbol Panel ,Free Transform to adjust the size[ scale] direction .

نبذة عن البحر الحمر

سبب تسميته
*** البحر الأحمر هي ترجمة مباشرة للكلمة اليونانية إريثرا ثالاسا
*** وهناك فرضيات أخرى هي
--- أن الاسم قد أتي من قبيلة حمير التي كانت تقطن فى اليمن.
--- وأيضا أيد بعض العلماء العصريين نظرية أن الأحمر هو اسم يشير إلى اتجاه الجنوب، كما البحر الاسود قد يشير إلى الشمال. وعلى أساس هذه النظرية بعض اللغات الآسيوية تستخدم أسماء الألوان للإشارة إلى الاتجاهات السماوية . وقد كان هيرودوت في المناسبة الواحدة يستخدم كلمة البحر الأحمر وبحر الجنوب بشكل متبادل.
--- ونظرية أخرى للتسمية لأن حدود البحر الأحمر على الصحراء المصرية ، والتي كان القدماء المصريين يسمونها Dashret أو "الأرض الحمراء"
البحر الأحمر أحد الأربعة بحار المسماة بأسماء الألوان والأخرى هى البحر الأسود، البحر الأبيض والبحر الاصفر(يقع فى كوريا الشماليه و الجنوبية).
