Red Sea

Explanation:

The Red Sea is the outlet of the Indian Ocean that lies between the northeastern part of Africa and Southwest Asia. This sea is one of the two northernmost points of the Indian Ocean along side the Persian Gulf. The Red Sea is a long be very narrow sea, having a northwest-southeastern direction. The sea is known for two things, having the warmest waters, and having the highest salinity. Both of those things are connected. The high temperature of the water is because the sea is surrounded by two of the biggest deserts in the world, the Sahara desert on the west, and the Arabian desert on the east. Both of them are very dry and very hot, so the sea trapped between them has very warm water as well. Because the temperature is high, the evaporation is very high as well, leading to higher concentrations of salt in the water, thus making it a very saline sea.
