Gulf of Suez

arm of the Red Sea which lies between Egypt and the Sinai Peninsula

The northern end of the Red Sea is bifurcated by the Sinai Peninsula, creating the Gulf of Suez (Arabic: خليج السويس; transliterated: Khalyj as-Suways) in the west and the Gulf of Aqaba to the east. The Gulf of Suez is a relatively young rift basin, dating back 40 million years. [1] It stretches some 30000 km north by northwest, terminating at the Egyptian city of Suez and the entrance to the Suez Canal. Along the mid-line of the Gulf lies the border between the continents of Africa and Asia. [2] The entrance of the Gulf lies atop the mature Gemsa oil and gas field. [3]
