Moses and the Red Sea

The Red Sea is a sea located between Egypt, Sudan, Eritrea on the west and both Saudi Arabia and Yamen on its eastern coast. Yet the ancient designation of the Erythrean sea (lit. "Red Sea") was much larger in its extent to include even the Perisan Gulf, Gulf of Oman, the Arabian Sea, Indian Ocean and Gulf of Aden (see Erythrean sea).

It is mentioned in the Bible when God parted the sea during the Hebrew Exodus from Egypt.^[1] The Red Sea is also the site of the Suez Canal.
