Explanation:

The Red Sea is a semi-enclosed tropical basin, bounded by northeastern Africa, to the west, and the Arabian peninsula, to the east.

• The elongated and narrow-shaped basin extends between the Mediterranean Sea, to the north-west, and the Indian Ocean, to the south-east.
• At the northern end, it separates into the Gulf of Aqaba and the Gulf of Suez, which is connected to the Mediterranean Sea via the Suez Canal.
• At the southern end, it is connected to the Gulf of Aden, and the outer Indian Ocean, via the Strait of Bab-el-Mandeb.
• It is surrounded by desert or semi-desert areas, with no major freshwater inflow.
• 6 Bordering Countries: Yemen; Saudi Arabia; Egypt; Sudan; Eritrea; Djibouti.

Hence both statements are correct.
