Region
The Sinai Peninsula, often abbreviated to Sinai, is the eastern part of Egypt between the Mediterranean Sea and the Gulf of Suez and Aqaba, both of which are thorns of the Red Sea. The western and northern coasts are practically uninhabited, but many Bedouin settlements and tourist attractions are scattered along the east coast.
Places to visit in the Sinai:
Sharm El Sheikh.
Ras Mohammed National Park.
Mount Sinai.
St Catherine's Monastery.
Resorts of Dahab, Nuweiba and Taba.
South Sinai is safer than North Sinai, but most governments advise against unnecessary travel, except for Sharm el-Sheikh, Dahab, Nuweiba, and Taba.
Sinai governorate is an Egyptian peninsula and is considered as the only part of the country that is located in Asia.
