The magnetic properties of basalts collected from the young rift zone of the Red Sea are studied in detail. Special features revealed in the magnetic behavior of the samples testify to a complex character of the evolution of the Red Sea rift zone. The magnetic characteristics of basalts from the Red Sea rift zone and other rift zones are compared. The reasons for high values of the natural remanent magnetization $I_n$ and Königsberger factor $Q_n$ obtained for the Red Sea basalts are clarified.
