Which gulf on the Red Sea is bordered by Egypt, Israel, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia? The answer is the Gulf of Aqaba.

The Gulf of Aqaba is the northeastern arm of the Red Sea, lying east of Egypt's Sinai Peninsula and west of the Arabian Peninsula. Its coastline is shared by Egypt, Israel, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia, making it an unusually multinational body of water despite its relatively narrow shape.

At its northern end are the ports and resort cities of Aqaba in Jordan, Eilat in Israel, and Taba in Egypt. Jordan's short shoreline on the gulf gives the country its only access to the Red Sea, while Israel's port at Eilat provides access to the Red Sea and wider Indian Ocean shipping routes.

The gulf is also called the Gulf of Eilat, especially in Israeli usage. That alternate name can create confusion, but “Gulf of Aqaba” is the standard answer in this question. It should not be confused with the Gulf of Suez, which lies on the opposite, western side of the Sinai Peninsula.
