The southern Sinai , the triangle of rugged mountain terrain lying between the Gulf of Suez and the Gulf of Aqaba , is perhaps the most striking desert stretch in world. Due to its faulted and geological structure it has a unique variety of landscapes : A deep blue sea with the best accessible coral reefs in the world, skirted by wide sandy beaches and lovely palm oases.

Black steep and pointed mountain ranges built of metamorphous rocks, fantastic shaped sand-stone mountains interacted by deep and narrow canyons girded with strikingly colorful walls.

Vast stretches of Sahara like sand dunes. Flat valleys strewn with huge and queerly sand-stone blocks. Massive granite peaks to highest of up to 2600 meters above sea level. Amidst deep gorges, some of which boast year-round mountain streams.

All these landscapes and many others can be seen within a few days of trailing in Sinai. To this add a friendly an hospitable Bedouin population , a great number of thrilling archeological sites, the biblical tradition about the wandering of children of Israel in the desert and above all the great freedom of the vast and empty wilderness and you will know why this area is so dearly cherished.
