Red Sea (Arabic: البحر الأحمر; transliterated: al-Bahr al-Ahmar) is one of the 26 wilayat or states of Sudan. It has an area of 218,887 km² and an estimated population of approximately 700,000 (2000). Port Sudan is the capital of the state. Sudan still claims, but doesn't control the Hala'ib Triangle, a region which has been under Egyptian administration since 2000.
