The red Sea is one of the miracles from Allah( God) to all humanity.and magical looking , so we should pay care of it even with words .



* Our project will start with an introduction, several pages about the topic and pages for participating , then workplan template and survey .


* students use websites to get more knowledge about the red sea . Students visit 'geography teachers' to exchange information. students use camera digital to take photos . Students create blog ' Facts about the red Sea' and search also for getting knowledge from magazines and school library.


*We expect students to get knowledge about the Red Sea.Students are expected to create blogs ,websites and use power point programme to produce their task.


*The standards level of students from seven age to 18 years old.

* Students should be creative , co operative , researchers and using High technology by using the 21st century skills.

* It is very important for class to learn about the miracles of the Red Sea to make poster inside schools and use head projectors and video in schools. Communities and the world should appreciate all researchers about this greate sea and make awareness to protect it from risks

`Call out for a safe Red sea

As the Red Sea one of the most wonderful and magical sea for bathing , scuba -diving , snorkelling and best stay, so we should co-operate together to save it from any dangers and make it a safe sea for all humanity. 

Red Sea Climate

The climate of the Red Sea is the result of two distinct monsoon seasons; a northeasterly monsoon and a southwesterly monsoon. Monsoon winds occur because of the differential heating between the land surface and sea. Very high surface temperatures coupled with high salinities makes this one of the hottest and saltiest bodies of seawater in the world. The average surface water temperature of the Red Sea during the summer is about 26 °C (79 °F) in the north and 30 °C (86 °F) in the south, with only about 2 °C (3.6 °F) variation during the winter months. The overall average water temperature is 22 °C (72 °F). The rainfall over the Red Sea and its coasts is extremely low, averaging 0.06 m (2.36 in) per year.The rain is mostly in the form of showers of short spells, often associated with thunderstorms and occasionally with dust storms. The scarcity of rainfall and no major source of fresh water to the Red Sea result in the excess evaporation as high as 205 cm (81 in) per year and high salinity with minimal seasonal variation. A recent underwater expedition to the Red Sea offshore from Sudan and Eritrea[11] found surface water temperatures 28°C in winter and up to 34°C in the summer, but despite that extreme heat the coral was healthy with much fish life with very little sign of coral bleaching, and there were plans to use samples of these corals' apparently heat-adapted commensal algae to salvage bleached coral elsewhere.

Save The Red Sea From risks

• Somalia Pirates:

Somali pirates continue their attacks against international ships in and around the Gulf of Aden, despite the deterrent of stepped-up international naval escorts and patrols - and the increased failure rate of their attacks. Under agreements with Somalia, the U.N, and each other, ships belonging to fifteen countries now patrol the area. Somali pirates - who have won themselves nearly $200 million in ransom since early 2008 - are being captured more frequently now, and handed over to authorities in Kenya, Yemen and Somalia for trial. Collected here are some recent photos of piracy off the coast of Somalia, and the international efforts to rein it in.

• power plant :

To this day, Red Sea resort tourist operators, hotel owners and tourism stakeholders are trying to fight off a gigantic power plant about to arrive in the beautiful, pristine resort in South Sinai peninsula. Worried locals oppose the joint project by the Investment Bank, African Development Bank and top Egyptian Authorities to build 750-megawatt gas-powered turbines on a site 105,000 square meters in size (going up to over 82 meters) right at the heart of the popular resort area of Nuweiba City, South Sinai in Egypt.

• Coral reefs :

Coral reefs are the largest living structures on our planet. They played a key role in Earth's history and continue to do so today. Approximately 800 species of corals have been described, and the reefs they form in turn harbor millions of additional species. Today, several different types of reefs are distinguished, among them fringing reefs, patch reefs, barrier reefs and atolls. Interestingly, this diversity of forms and types is achieved by a small subgroup (scleractinians) of relatively simply built organisms, namely the cnidarians (which include the sea anemones, for example).). The reef-building capacity of these corals is based on a symbiosis with single-celled algae (so-called zooxanthellae) that live in the coral tissue. Coral reefs are broadly restricted to shallow tropical waters. They cover a total area of ca. 280,000 km², which represents only 0.09 % of the world's oceans and less than 1.2% of the world's continental shelf area.

Red Sea Birds

The Ancient Egyptians were excellent natural historians who vibrantly documented the flora and fauna of their time on the walls of their tombs and temples. More than 75 different species of birds can be easily identified from the wall paintings and other artefacts.
Where ever you are in Egypt either it’s on a liveaboard in the middle of the sea or it’s out in the vast dessert, you’re likely to spot some of our rare species of birds.

Some are endemic to the region, like the White Eye Gull ,Swift Tern and the Brown Bobby.

Birds of pray play and important roll in the delicate echo system and on Small Giftun Island, Big Giftun Island and the Tawila Island we have one of the world’s highest density of nesting pairs of Ospreys .How cool isn't that! It's not rare at all to see Ospreys hunting around dive sites. Imagine how cool it would be to have an Osprey catch a fish in front of your eyes during a dive!

On average, about half a million birds of prey like Lesser Spotted Eagles, Honey Buzzards and Levant Sparrow hawks plus 250,000 White Storks and 70,000 White Pelicans passed during fall. About a million birds of prey like Honey Buzzards, Steppe Buzzards, Steppe Eagles and Black Kites plus 450,000 White Storks passed during spring. Peak numbers are higher; over a million birds of prey and half a million White Storks. Can you imagine the sight when a never ending flock of huge birds cover the sky from horizon to horizon? It's magical.

The Main name of the Red Sea

The sea was called the "Arabian Gulf" in most European sources up to the 20th century. This was derived from older Greek sources. Herodotus, Straban and Ptolemy all call the waterway "Arabicus Sinus", while reserving the term "Sea of Erythrias" (Red Sea) for the waters around the southern Arabian Peninsula, now known as Indian Ocean. The name of the sea does not indicate the colour of the water. It may signify the seasonal blooms of the red-coloured cyanobacteria Trichodesmium erythraeum near the water surface. Some suggest that it refers to the mineral-rich red mountains nearby which are called "äøé àãåí" (harei edom). Edom, meaning "ruddy complexion", is also an alternative Hebrew name for the red-faced biblical character Esau (brother of Jacob), and the nation descended from him, the Edomites, which in turn provides yet another possible origin for Red Sea. There is also speculation that the name Red Sea came from a mistranslation of what should have been the Reed Sea in the Biblical story of the Exod

*Some facts:

The Red Sea is a gulf or basin of the Indian Ocean between Africa and Asia. The connection to the ocean is in the south through the Bab el Mandeb sound and the Gulf of Aden. In the north is the Sinai Peninsula, the Gulf of Aqaba and the Gulf of Suez (leading to the Suez Canal). The sea is roughly 1900 km long and at its widest is over 300 km. The sea floor has a maximum depth of 2,500 m in the central median trench and an average depth of 500 m, but it also has extensive shallow shelves, noted for their marine life and corals. The sea has a surface area of roughly 438,000 or 450,000 km². The sea is the habitat of over 1000 invertebrate species and 200 soft and hard corals. The sea occupies a part of the Great Rift Valley. The Red Sea is the world´s most northern tropical sea.

Physical properties:
Dust storm over the Red SeaSurface water temperatures remain relatively constant at 21-25°C and temperature and visibility remain good to around 200 m, but the sea is known for its strong winds and tricky local currents. The sea was created by the division of Africa from the Arabian peninsula, a movement which began around 30 million years ago. The sea is still widening and there are small volcanic features in the deeper parts, it is considered that the sea will become an ocean in time (as proposed in the model of Tuzo Wilson). Sometimes during the Tertiary period the Bab el Mandeb was closed and the Red Sea was an empty hot dry salt-floored sink.

Trade on the Red Sea:

earliest known exploration of the Red Sea was conducted by Ancient Egyptians, as they attempted to establish commercial routes to Punt. One such expedition took place around 2500 BC, and another around 1500 BC. Both involved long voyages down the Red Sea.[7]

The Biblical Book of Exodus tells the story of the Israelites' miraculous crossing of a body of water, which the Hebrew text calls Yam Suph. Yam Suph is traditionally identified as the Red Sea. The account is part of the Israelites' escape from slavery in Egypt. Yam Suph can also been translated as Sea of Reeds.
