Undoubtedly, one of the most amazing wonders of the world can be considered the Sinai Peninsula, which is located between Africa and Asia. Geographically, these lands belong to Egypt, so all the resorts and entertainment that are there have much in common with this famous sunny country. Here there is a warm sea, and a desert, and natural stunning landscapes, as well as all kinds of entertainment and restaurants that modern tourists need so much.
The Sinai Peninsula is washed by the waters of the Red Sea, and on the African side is the Gulf of Suez, and on the Asian side - the waters of the Gulf of Aqaba. Once the famous silk road passed through these lands, through which caravans delivered expensive fabrics and other wealth from the Far East to Egypt. It is believed that in this place Moses spoke with the Creator of our world. Today, the Sinai Peninsula is an example of a rich nature, where crystalline rocks formed low mountains. They contain elements painted in red, blue, green, pink and purple colors, which form a multi-colored canyon.
The main attraction of this area is Mount Sinai, whose height is 2285 meters. You can climb it along two paths, one of which is not too long, but incredibly steep, and the other gentle, but it will take a long walk. These paths are reunited near the chapel of St. Catherine, and after reaching the summit of Sinai, you can go up the stairs, which consists of 3400 steps. Not every traveler has the courage to overcome this test, so for the weak there are camels on top of which you can reach the top.
Of great interest to tourists is the monastery of St. Catherine. It is considered the oldest Christian temple in the whole world and is located in a valley between the mountains of Moses, 200 kilometers from the city of Sharm el-Sheikh. The Sinai Peninsula is also famous for its indestructible dome - a bush that grows near the monastery. It is believed that in the flame of this plant the Lord first appeared to the gaze of Moses, and since then the roots of the bush have been the support for the foundation of the entire building.
The Sinai Peninsula is also a place where you can improve your health and get rid of various ailments. On its territory there are many hot springs, the occurrence of which is also associated with the biblical legend of Moses. The most popular are the waters of the Uyun-Mus spring in the west of the peninsula. An excellent alternative to chemical rejuvenation can be the “Pharaoh Baths”, which are located 130 kilometers from the spring. And in the very south, not far from the city of Tor, there are the "Moses Baths", where you can fix your nerves, cure arthritis, rheumatism and other unpleasant diseases.
Finally, it is worth noting that the resorts of the Sinai Peninsula is a real paradise in which people from different countries have been resting for many years. The most popular city is Sharm el-Sheikh, which is literally indented with various bays and lagoons. The prices here are slightly higher than in other cities in Egypt, but its natural heritage, historical sites and infrastructure are worth it.
