The Red Seagulf of the Indian Ocean between Africa and Asia 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 are the Sinai Peninsula, the Gulf of Aqaba and the Gulf of Suez (leading to the Suez Canal). The sea is roughly 1,200 miles (1,900 km) long and at its widest is over 190 miles (300 km). The sea floor has a maximum depth of 8,200 feet (2,500 m) in the central median trench and an average depth of 1,640 feet (500 m), but it also has extensive shallow shelves, noted for their marine life and corals. The sea has a surface area of roughly 174,000 square miles (450,000 km²). The sea is the habitat of over 1,000 invertebrate species and 200 soft and hard corals. The sea occupies a part of the Great Rift Valley. The Red Seagulf of the Indian Ocean between Africa and Asia is the world's most northern tropical sea.
The Egyptians were the first to attempt a mission of exploration in the Red Seagulf of the Indian Ocean between Africa and Asia. In the Bible, the story of Moses tells how the son of a slave woman leads the Israelites across it to freedom, by using the power of G-d to part the waters. However, it was a Greek sailor, Hippalus, who conferred an international dimension upon the Red Seagulf of the Indian Ocean between Africa and Asia in his manifesto on the voyage of the Eritrea Sea, and thus opened it up to an immense and exclusive trade with Asia. It was only from the 15th century onwards that Europe began to show interest in this area. In 1798, France
charged General Bonaparte with invading Egypt and capturing the Red Seagulf of the Indian Ocean between Africa and Asia. Although he failed in his mission, the engineer J.B. Lepere, who took part in it, revitalized the plan for a canal which had been envisaged during the reign of the Pharaohs. The Suez Canal was opened in November 1869. At the time, the British, French, and Italians shared the trading posts. The posts were gradually dismantled following the First World War. After the Second World War, the Americans and Soviets exerted their influence whilst the volume of oil tanker traffic intensified. However, the Six Day War1967 Arab-Israeli War culminated in the closure of the Suez Canal from 1967 to 1975. Still today, in spite of patrols by the major maritime fleets in the waters of the Red Seagulf of the Indian Ocean between Africa and Asia, the Suez Canal has never recovered its supremacy over the Cape route, which is believed to be less vulnerable.
