Growing up, whenever I read about The Red Sea, I always thought that it was red because of some magical potion that was put into the water everyday to get that glistening glow that deemed it as The Red Sea. But of course, with a vast imagination, the idea of The Red Sea actually being red slowly dwindled when I found out the true facts of this must exquisite sea.
Folks, if you don’t already know this, The Red Sea, is actually the bluest of blues you can ever imagine. The sea is deemed as one of the most beautiful natural wonders of the world for a few reasons. I personally, one of the main reasons its deemed as a natural wonder, is because of its location. Located between Africa and Asia, The Red Sea lies there in all its brilliance. The Sea is where the desert meets the ocean and is the loveliest natural seascapes this world has ever seen.
As you explore the bluest of reds throughout the sea, take to snorkeling, fishing or enjoy a day out sailing through the shining sea. Snorkeling along The Red Sea is one of the most popular ways to see all of the unique treasures found down below. With over 1000 species of invertebrates and over 200 different coral types, the true beauty can be found in the act of snorkeling. As you explore the beauty of the reef you’ll take to falling in love with the plethora of brightly lit schools of fish and the breathtaking coral reef this surely is the best way to see the sea. Whether you ventured off to The Red Sea to explore its blue waters, or to take in how precious the water is to the locals, The Red Sea will become your own seaside oasis.
