The Sinai Peninsula or simply Sinai (/ˈsaɪnaɪ/;Arabic: سيناء Sīnāʼ ; Egyptian Arabic: سينا Sīna, IPA: [ˈsiːnæ]; Hebrew: סיני Sinai) is a triangular peninsula in Egypt about 60,000 km2 (23,000 sq mi) in area. It is situated between the Mediterranean Sea to the north, and the Red Sea to the south, and is the only part of Egyptian territory located in Asia, as opposed to Africa, serving as a land bridge between two continents. The bulk of the peninsula is divided administratively into two of Egypt's 27 governorates (with three more straddling the Suez Canal area), and has a population of approximately 1,400,000 people. In addition to its formal name, Egyptians also refer to it as Arḍ ul-Fairūz (أرض الفيروز "the land of turquoise"). The ancient Egyptians called it Mafkat, or "land of the green minerals".

The past and the present meet in the capital of the country, Cairo. The museums, mosques, parks of the huge metropolis offer many sights, as well as the bazaars, where we can admire the mastery of the craftsmen from close range.

Sinai, Egypt Travel Video - Occupied by Israel from 1967 to 1982, and sharing more with Asia than Africa, Sinai is the most atypical part of Egypt. Settled by Bronze Age communities, attracted by Sinai’s copper and turquoise deposits, and later by Pharaonic mining parties, Sinai is most celebrated in history for the Exodus of Israelites towards the Promised Land. Though disputed by historians, Jews, Christians and Muslims believe Gebel Mousa (Mt Sinai) marks the spot where Moses received the Ten Commandments. It remains an important pilgrimage site. If the interior belongs to God, Sinai’s coast belongs to mammon. Vast resorts fringe the peninsula, attracting biblical numbers of sun-worshippers, attracted by blue skies and world-class diving.

Welcome to Africa. We are here in Egypt to make a series of shows on the Red Sea and the treasures of ancient Egypt. With the fantastic array of both underwater and monumental treasures that Egypt has to offer, we simply could not get it done in one show. In this Dive Travel Adventure we are going to visit the main gateway of Cairo, with its iconic Pyramids and then travel into Asia and the Sinai Peninsula to the Red Sea resorts of bustling Sharm El Sheikh and laid back Dahab. In our other shows we visit Luxor and the Eastern Desert region featuring undiscovered diving at the 'Jewel of the Red Sea' -El Quseir. In another show, we sail off on the live-aboard Bella 1, exploring the myriad of wrecks in the south of the Gulf of Suez. Helping me with this epic journey, as we tra...

Egypt Travel Guide - Egypt (Arabic: مصر; officially, the Arab Republic of Egypt) is in north-eastern Africa with its capital located in its largest city, Cairo. Egypt also extends into Asia by virtue of holding the Sinai Peninsula. Egypt is bordered by Israel and the Gaza Strip to the north-east, by Sudan to the south and by Libya to the west. The country is bounded by the Mediterranean and Red Seas (to the north and east respectively) and geographically dominated both by the Nile River and its fertile well-watered valley, and by the Eastern and Western deserts. Egypt is perhaps best known as the home of the ancient Egyptian civilization, with its temples, hieroglyphs, mummies, and - visible above all - its pyramids. Less well-known is Egypt's medieval heritage, courtesy of Coptic Christia...
Retracing Moses' Steps In A Once-In-A-Lifetime Spiritual Journey NOVEMBER 11, 2010—AT ONE o’clock in the morning about 3 dozens of us from our group of 50+ Filipino pilgrims started our attempt to hike to the summit of Mt. Sinai (2,640+ MASL) from the St. Catherine Monastery in the Sinai Peninsula, Egypt. Unknown to us until a few hours later, at least a thousand other people from all over the world were hiking to the summit that very same morning. It was, after all, a typical day in Mt. Sinai. The Sinai Peninsula is for most parts, a desert. Mount Sinai, at 2,640+ meters above sea level, is quite a high-altitude place. Between 1am to 5am, temperatures can go down to 5-10 degrees Celsius. It was a long and chilly hike. It was pitch black, too. Although some of us had flashlights and he...
The Sinai Peninsula has a lot to offer tourist's. Sharm El Sheikh is is a charming city with a small town atmosphere. The waters of the Red Sea are stunningly beautiful with pristine coral reefs and crystal clear waters . The Red Sea is considered one of the best dive sites in the world. The Ras Mohammed National Park, 12 km from Sharm El Sheikh, overlooks Gulf of Suez and the Gulf of Aqaba. You can venture up the coast toward Israel to Nuweiba and visit the Fortress of Tarabin, built in 1506. Ruth and I spent several days in the Sinai before taking a ferry to Aqaba in Jordan.

An awesome place indeed! Seems so far away from civilization, so barren... so dry, yet it is so peaceful... an ideal place to commune with God.
Winter Break holidays in Egypt spent by visiting Sinai or Saina' Peninsula. We visit St. Catherine in which there are two tombs; Prophet Haroun and Prophet Soleh, and stood there a sculpture resembling a cow called The Golden Calf of Samiri. Then we went to Moses' Spring, sightseeing and shopping at Dahab. We also enjoy our ATV ride twice, first at Dahab and second at Sharm el-Sheikh. Last but not least, we went form the land to the sea and enjoying our first time scuba diving as well as snorkeling. Not to mention Salahuddin al-Ayyubi's Fort situated at the border of Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Egypt. Theme song by Coldplay - Viva La Vida; in which I have no rights on it.

NEGEV REGION, ISRAEL — Militants in Egypt’s Sinai peninsula fired rockets into southern Israel on Friday in an incident that caused no casualties but appeared to be connected to fighting between Islamist insurgents and Egyptian security forces, Reuters said. Islamic State’s Egypt affiliate, Sinai Province, claimed in a statement on Twitter by supporters that it had launched three Grad rockets toward “occupied Palestine”. The group said it acted in retaliation for what it feels is Israeli support for Egyptian military. An Israeli military source said the rockets had been fired from Sinai. Israeli officials said they found pieces from two rockets in an open area in Israel’s Negev region. No casualties or damage were reported. Dozens of people have been killed in the past few days o...
Disrespectful comments & vulgar language will be deleted! It should be called the "Egyptian Peninsula"
