The gulf is situated between the Sinai Peninsula (bottom portion of image) and the Arabian Peninsula (top portion of the image). It is a part of the Great Rift Valley. The Gulf is a major shipping route for the city ports of Elat, Israel, and Aqaba, Jordan (not visible) at the northern end of the gulf.
