Red Sea




Sabas, Aurteamus, and I were on our way back to America from the Middle East. We were on our way back from visiting some family. As we were walking to the next boat station we wanted to visit the Red Sea, we found out that it was a seawater inlet from the Indian Ocean. In the north it was blocked by the Sanai Peninsula so we couldn't go that way. And we couldn't go staight across because it was bordered by the Great Rift Valley. So the Red Sea's surface area is roughly 169,100 square miles. When we went across Africa we found out that the Red Sea is the northernmost tropical sea. When we got home our friends were amazed by the amazing story we told about what we learned on our visit.
