| Sinai Peninsula and the Red Sea: The triangular Sinai Penisula
of Egypt appears behind the Canada Arm in the foreground (lower
right), with the Gulf of Suez to its west (far right) and the Gulf of
Aqaba (center bottom). These gulfs join to become the Red Sea which
stretches away south to the horizon down the left side of this
south-looking view. Saudi Arabia lies to the left and Egypt and Sudan
to the right. The Red Sea is widening as Saudi Arabia pulls northeast (left). The margins of the sea are appropriately parallel. The Red Sea is one of the youngest seas on the planet. |
