But the variety of its water declines its colors of several games the blue ones which do of them one of the most beautiful seas of the world. It is also one of the hottest seas of planet, its water varies between 20 and 25°. The watery life is more exuberant there. Multicoloured Poisson, coral colonies attract the amateurs of deep-sea divings charmed to find itself in the medium of an extraordinarily varied watery flora and of a marine animal-life rich hundreds of species of sharks, murenes worrying and impressive lines or peaceful tortoises. The tourist places most famous are Eilat, Akaba, Hurghada, Charm-el-Sheik. The edges of the Red Sea are biblical sites par excellence but also places in charge of history and feats of arms (the Napoleonean one, Suez Canal). Egypt, Jordan, Israel, Sudan, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Djibouti is the principal bordering countries of this sea whose geopolitical importance is undeniable.
