The Red Sea




From the Dead Sea to the Red Sea, the contrast is amazing. The shallow depth and lack of sea currents allow algae and coral to thrive in the Gulf of Aqaba. We snorkeled for a few hours. The water temperature was perfect for viewing all sorts of fish, some that I had never seen before. The guide book says there are over 1,100 species of fish and 10% are unique to the Red Sea. Lucky me.
