Red Sea, Narrow inland sea between the Arabian Peninsula and Africa. It extends southeast from Suez, Egypt (initially as the Gulf of Suez), for about 1,200 mi (1,930 km) to the Strait of Mandeb, which connects with the Gulf of Aden and then with the Arabian Sea. The Red Sea separates the coasts of Egypt, Sudan, and Eritrea from those of Saudi Arabia and Yemen.
