Bordering the coastlines of eight countries, the red sea is a melting pot of civilizations, faiths and hopes. With unique coral reefs and diverse underwater life, the untouched nature and unmatched biodiversity thrive in the aquatic environment and have led to the creation of several preservation initiatives. As the setting of many epic journeys in literature, the red sea is imbued with a spirit of adventure.
