The Red Sea
Arabic name of the Red Sea is "Al Bahr al Ahmar".
There is no short explanation why it's called "red".
Probably it's from planktonic algae (Trichodesmium
Erythraeum) which been found in that sea. When
those algae are dying, the blue color of the water is
changing into red-brown.
The Red Sea has 2250 km (from Suez Canal to
Yemen in the South) .
It's the warmest sea in the world from 19C in the
winter up to 32C in the summer time.
There are 45 coral reefs in Hurghada area. In the Red
Sea you can find more than 50 wracks. The most
famous one, "Thistlegorm" which was sunken in
1940, can be seen after 4,5 hour trip by boat from
Hurghada (depth: 29 m).

Coral reefs and wrecks
1. No food in the water! - Feeding fish upsets the
ecological balance of the reef
2. No illegal fishing! - it reduces the fish population
and upsets the delicate balance of the reef
3. Don't touch corals! - it simply killes them
4. Keep the sea and beach clean - kills wildlife
5. Don't take anything from the sea - just enjoy
watching it and leave it where it belongs to. If corals
or shells will be found in your luggage, you can pay
even 2.000 USD!
