The Red Sea (Arabic ÇáÈÍÑ ÇáÃÍãÑ) is a gulf or basin of the Indian Ocean between Africa and Asia. The connection to the ocean is in the south through the Bab el Mandeb sound and the Gulf of Aden. In the north is the Sinai Peninsula, the Gulf of Aqaba and the Gulf of Suez (leading to the Suez Canal). The sea is roughly 1900 km long and at its widest is over 300 km. The sea floor has a maximum depth of 2,500 m in the central median trench and an average depth of 500 m, but it also has extensive shallow shelves, noted for their marine life and corals. The sea has a surface area of roughly 438,000 or 450,000 km². The sea is the habitat of over 1000 invertebrate species and 200 soft and hard corals. The sea occupies a part of the Great Rift Valley. The Red Sea is the world´s most northern tropical sea.
Spacious Mediterranean style resort on the Red Sea with extensive gardens, 3 km of beachfront, lagoon and numerous dining outlets.

Interesting page here, Frona. The waters - so beautiful... they look like parts of the Caribbean to me, just perfect. Wow, the Goebbels boat and the Forbidden Island add a twist of mystery to this trip.
Holy Shi'ite Muslim!
great page ...hope to see you again someday in egypt....enjoy
great tips!
Hurghada seems like a great destination in Egypt. Movenpick resort seems though a little bit too expensive for my 'taste' :) Greetings from Romania!
