The island is... nothing, just a volume of sand in the middle of the sea, narrowing even more the straight with the same name. A few shipwrecks happened in the area, and the fish take advantage of it. Not to explored the coast of the island is a good spot to snorkel with clear bottom and several coral formations.The trip is pleasant with lunch included, but the return is early. It was supposed to snorkel in three places, and we did, but the last one, by the destroyed ship, only last a few minutes.

Coloured Canyons
by solopes
After visiting the Grand canyon (and Brice Canyon, and Zion...) this "miniature" is not an impressive visit. The solution is to turn it in a funny experience, walking a few hundred meters in a very difficult way. We had fun, in a very good trip that included driving in the sand and snorkeling in Blue Hole. That's my advice - you may go, be prepared to slide and stumble in sculpted rocks, but try to negotiate your trip, choosing the adequate package from the several solutions that "will come" to you in the beach.

Snorkelling
by solopes
Will it be possible to visit Sinai without snorkeling? I don't believe!All discussions try to find the best location - Ras Mohammed, the national park is the top destination, but we heard (and verified) that Tiran Island is fabulous, and the Blue Hole... magnetic.Fishes may be seen everywhere, but the "carpet" in Blue Hole is impossible to forget. A little bit far, that's the problem, but you may link it to another program - desert, canyons, Dahab.

St Katherine
by solopes
Twice I've been in Sinai... twice I went to St. Katherine. It is a miracle of survival, not only for the religious permanently living there, but also for the place itself. Nowhere in the world is possible to see two different religions sharing places and structures so closely as in this monastery. Why the religious fights and killings, if this example shows that respect and fraternity is possible?

Sharm-el-Sheikh
by solopes
The common entrance place of the peninsula Sharm-el-Sheikh concentrates almost everything in touristy structures and opportunities, acting as the launching point to the several programs locally available. Of course, it deserves a specific page, and I wrote it.

The Sunrise
by wilocrek
The main attraction of Mt. Sinai is not just the mountain itself but rather seeing a sunrise from the top. Tourists from around the world both young and old make the early morning trek up the mountain to see what truly is a magnificent sunrise over the Sinai. A few tips for your climb, be sure to be on the trail by 2:00 A.M., it will be cold in the morning no matter what time of year but keep in mind they do rent blankets at the top so be sure to have some money with you. The earlier you get there the better, the top is small and there are lots of people so get there early to get the best viewing spot. You can combine visiting St. Katherine's Monastery after seeing the sunrise as the monastery generally opens at 9:00 A.M. till 12:00 A.M.

Camel School
by wilocrek
For those hearty adventurers who are staying more than a couple of days at St. Katherine's Protectate you might want to consider a break from all hiking by spending a day at Camel School. At the time of my visit in March 2009 they were just putting it together but it was a lot of fun. Basically they take you out into a valley surrounded by the reddish pink mountains of the Sinai and teach you how to not only ride a camel but master it as well. I was able to learn how speak to the camel and get it to respond to my commands and then the last couple hours I was able to take the camel out on a trek for the most part by myself. This was an incredible and unique experience and I highly recommend it. Ask around at the Sheik Mousa Bedouin Camp for rates and availability.

St. Katherine's Monastery
by wilocrek
St. Katherine's Monastery is not only a beautiful place to visit but its also a religious experience to many Christians and Jews. Thought to be near the location of the burning bush the monastery draws bus loads of tourist daily. The monks run a tight ship and visiting hours are limited so be sure to check in advance before visiting. This is also the starting point for climbing Mt. Sinai, hikers have the option of choosing the easy to navigate Camel Trail or the tough as nails Steps of Repentance.

Climbing Mt. Sinai at Sunrise
by wilocrek
Climbing Mt. Sinai is an adventure worth taking, set deep in the Sinai Peninsula and home to the disputed location where Moses received the Ten Commandments, Mt Sinai is both a religious trek and adventure wrapped into one. Most tourists choose to climb the mountain in the early morning hour to catch a breathtaking sunrise over the Sinai. This is a magnificent way to experience the beauty of Mt. Sinai in both the dark of night and the dawn of day. Climbing the mountain at night is a transcendent experience as the night is lit up by the moon and stars and the mountain ranges are visible as shadows against the night sky. You aren't alone on the trail as literally hundreds of people make the climb every night but thankfully the hike is long enough to create seperation from the bigger groups. Its best to start the hike at about 2:00 A.M. as it will take someone in good condition at least...
