Discover Sinai
Mountains, desert and sea... the Sinai has much more to offer than most people think. The high mountain region, with its religious and historical importance, orchard gardening tradition and unique nature, is like no other place in the World.
The desert is just as beautiful as any in the Middle East and North Africa and you will find an amazing variety of different landscapes within a small area: a maze of long rocky wadis, fine sand deserts and dunes, surrealistic rock formations and ranges, canyons and oases.
Bedouin culture still holds strong and here 4x4s still haven't pushed out the traditional camel work. The coral reefs of the Gulf of Aqaba are rated internationally as some of the best and a number of coastal protectorates, with their different eco systems, offer quiet get aways from the resort towns.
High Mountains
The High Mountain Region, home to the Jabaleya Bedouin, is located around the town of St. Katherine. The town itself lies at around 1600 meters from sea level, and many of the mountains around it are above 2000 meters, with Mt. Katherine the tallest at 2642 meters.
South
West and south-west from St. Katherine is the homeland of the Ulad Said tribe, while to the south it is Muzeina territory. Not many operators offer treks in this region, and your best choice is to find one in the town of St. Katherine. Alternatively you can try to find an independent guide in town.
