About Sinai Peninsula
Egypt's Sinai Peninsula is a sparsely populated desert region between the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea. On its southern tip, Sharm el-Sheikh resort is a base for diving and snorkeling around the reefs of Ras Mohammed National Park. Inland, 6th-century St. Catherine's Monastery is near biblical Mount Sinai, where the 2,285m summit is renowned for its sunrise views.
