Brief History
Geologists believe that the Red Sea formed less than 45 million years ago as a result of the same tectonic forces which created the Rift Valley in East Africa. In the Book of Exodus, Moses, in leading the Jews out of bondage in Egypt, is said to have parted the Red Sea to offer a means of escape from the pursuing Egyptians. In the past century and a half, after the completion of the Suez Canal in 1869, the Sea became a vital trade and shipping route between the Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea.
