    The
    Gulf of Suez
    (
    Arabic
    :
    خليج السويس
    ,
    romanized
    :
    khalīǧ as-suwais
    ; formerly
    بحر القلزم
    ,
    baḥar al-qulzum
    ,
    lit.
    "Sea of Calm") is a
    gulf
    at the northern end of the
    Red Sea
    , to the west of the
    Sinai Peninsula
    . Situated to the east of the Sinai Peninsula is the smaller
    Gulf of Aqaba
    . The gulf was formed within a relatively young but now inactive
    Gulf of Suez Rift
    rift basin
    , dating back about 26 million years.
    [1]
    It stretches some 300 kilometres (190 mi) north by northwest, terminating at the Egyptian city of
    Suez
    and the entrance to the
    Suez Canal
    . Along the mid-line of the gulf is the boundary between Africa and Asia.
    [2]
    The entrance of the gulf lies atop the mature Gemsa oil and
    gas field
    .
    [3]
    The gulf is considered one of the world's important maritime zones due to being an entrance to the Suez Canal.
