Red Sea is a state or region within Egypt in Africa. Knowing which states and countries lie nearest to Red Sea is essential for regional market intelligence, inter-state trade corridor analysis, distribution network planning and cross-border logistics coordination. Distances are computed using the Great Circle (haversine) formula — the shortest aerial path between two geographic coordinates on Earth. View the nearby states or nearby countries above.
This page also lists countries nearest to Red Sea by aerial distance. You can also explore the full countries near Egypt page. Cross-border proximity data supports import/export planning, international market entry, travel corridor analysis and emergency logistics coordination across Africa.
Each nearby state or country includes a compass heading from Red Sea using the 16-point compass rose (N, NNE, NE, ENE, E, ESE, SE, SSE, S, SSW, SW, WSW, W, WNW, NW, NNW). The bearing angle (0°–360°) is shown with a rotating arrow — see the states and countries above. Useful for aviation planning, maritime navigation, overland trucking and understanding the spatial layout around Red Sea.
Knowing the distance from Red Sea to neighboring states helps travel professionals, tour operators, hospitality businesses and travelers plan efficient itineraries across Egypt. Also compare population and area data of nearby states.
Distances use the Great Circle (haversine) formula — the shortest aerial distance between two geographic coordinate points on Earth. Calculations use the latitude and longitude center point of each state. Results are shown in miles, kilometers and nautical miles. View the Red Sea map for exact GPS coordinates.
The compass heading shows the bearing from Red Sea to each neighboring state or country using the 16-point compass rose. The rotating arrow shows the degree bearing (0°–360°), where 0°/360° is North, 90° East, 180° South and 270° West. See the states table and countries table above.
See the States Near To Red Sea table above. Each row shows the state name, flag, distance in miles, kilometers and nautical miles, plus the compass direction and bearing symbol.
