The Red Sea
Jordan has coastlines along both the Gulf of Aqaba and the Red Sea. The Gulf of Aqaba is a northern extension of the Red Sea, and Jordan's southern tip, particularly the area around Aqaba, borders this gulf. Thus, while Jordan is not directly on the main body of the Red Sea, it does have access to it through the Gulf of Aqaba.
Sinai
Ethiopia is in proximity to the Red Sea, but has no coastline on the sea, being narrowly separated from it by Eritrea and to a smaller extent by Djibouti. (*The term "Red Sea Region" is more narrowly used to indicate two zones within Eritrea itself.)
