Red sea is color is not really red, but sometimes it appears to be. The Red Sea got its name from a phenomenon caused by a type of algae called Trichodesmium Erythraeum, which found in the sea. When these algae blooms die off the blue green color of sea appears to change to reddish-brown color. That is the reason why it is called red sea.
