The “Mare Rubum”
of the Romans, the Red Sea has been called the “red” by Europeans since
antiquity, a name that has also been taken over by the Arabs, (El Bahr El
Ahmer), due to the colour of various mountain ranges bordering the sea. It runs
from north to south east for about 1600 miles in length, and 120 to 240 miles
in width, the Red Sea is nature’s beautiful gift to the Middle East. One of the
