The Red Sea
The Red Sea’s maximum breadth is 355 kilometers, its maximum length is 2,250 kilometers, and its water volume is 233,000 kilometers. Around 2500 BC, the first expeditions to the Red Sea began. Darius I of Persia made the Red Sea his navigation project in the 6th century BC. After two centuries, Alexander the Great resumed the exploration process, dispatching naval expeditions to exploit the Red Sea’s resources. Since then, the Red Sea has played an important role in trade and connecting countries over the centuries, up to the present day.
