The Red Sea
The Red Sea is located between Sudan and Saudi Arabia. It is called the "Red Sea" because when the Greek discovered it it was red due to a certain bacteria that resides in the sea. The water is unnaturally hot and in the summer time it has an average of 85°F. The Egyptians called it the "Red Sea" because of both the bacteria and the fact that it was next to what they call the "Red land" or the Sahara.
