Red Sea and the unique running as a narrow

Enclosed seas only reefs in the world, the sea is a distinctive and unique tropical. An unparalleled source of entertainment and beauty. Operation and unity of the narrow strip between Africa and Saudi Arabia, about 1500 kilometers, and the Red Sea at the edge of the southern part and the Indian Ocean through the Strait of Bab al-Mandab, while in the north of its president as branches in the twin gulfs of Suez and Aqaba. Unlike the dry, desert and semi-desert on either side, framed in the Red Sea with thousands of coral reefs untouched, oases of teeming under the water and is characterized by life in joy in the Red Sea waters.The shallow due to high salinity - a result of all of the hot climate and the absence of any Add fresh river water to the sea. Range from sea surface temperature, according to the time of the year, from about 20 to 26 degrees Celsius in the northern part, and 25-31 degrees. (C) in the central and southern parts. Clear skies and strong sunlight and the absence of deposits flowing to contribute to the vision under the water is excellent, which led to the Red Sea, among the most visible in the waters of tidal plain world.The small and occur on the grounds (twice daily) semi-diurnal, with the sea are all oscillating on the nodal points, almost at latitude of Port Sudan. The height of the tides, in both North and South America, and about half a meter, while in the center there is no virtual daily tide. There are, however, in all parts of the Red Sea, and seasonal changes in water level over a longer period, the level of water in summer means that nearly a meter lower in tidal seasonal Winter.The, and the pattern of prevailing winds and currents, and are all affected by the change between summer and winter monsoons in the Indian Ocean. During the summer northerly winds prevail through the entire Red Sea, the main surface current generated by these winds in the south, and moves water from the Red Sea, thus lowering its level. During the winter and the prevailing winds are still northerly in the northern hemisphere, but in the southern part are from the south, and these winds generate a current, bringing water back to the Red Sea again.
