Everything about Gulf Of Suez totally explained
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 formed within a relatively young, but now inactive
rift basin, the
Gulf of Suez Rift, dating back about 28 million years. It stretches some 300 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. The entrance of the Gulf lies atop the mature
Gemsa oil and
gas field.
The Gulf of Suez occupies the northwestern arm of the
Red Sea between Africa proper (west) and the Sinai Peninsula (east) of Egypt. It is the third arm of the
triple junction rift system. The second arm of the triple junction system is the
Gulf of Aqaba.
The length of the gulf, from its mouth at the Strait of
Jubal to its head at the city of
Suez, is 195 miles (314 km), and it varies in width from 12 to 20 miles (19 to 32 km).
