The age of the Red Sea is between 25 and 40 million years old, said
general manager of the research and archaeological studies in Sinai and
Lower Egypt Abdel Rahim Rihan.
The Red Sea is part of a split or crack in a groove in the surface
of the African and Arabian Peninsula called the Afro-Arab Crack, Rihan
added. It is a major artery for global navigation and trade crossing
between the East and West through the Suez Canal as over 20,000 vessels
cross the Red Sea annually, he added.
Several Arab and African countries have coastlines on the Red Sea
that encompass an incredible amount of sea wealth, such as unique coral
reefs and diverse fish, Rihan mentioned. The sea also includes the most
beautiful diving areas in the world.
