At the far east of Egypt, the Sinai Peninsula stretches on the border between Asia and Africa, a land where history and nature meet, and a gateway to mystery and adventure. Mount Sinai here is not only one of the ten most beautiful sunrise viewing places in the world, but also the Moses Mountain where Moses spoke to God in the Bible.

Diversity of scenery
The topography of the Sinai Peninsula is varied, from the vast desert plains to the steep mountains to the turquoise coastline, each of which is a masterpiece of nature. The most famous of these is Mount St. Catherine, which is not only holy to Christianity, Judaism and Islam, but also offers an unparalleled mountaineering experience for climbing enthusiasts.


Paradise for diving
On the coast of the Red Sea, the waters of the Sinai Peninsula are known as one of the best diving sites in the world. Transparent waters, rich coral reefs and colorful Marine life provide a visual feast for diving enthusiasts. Sharm el-Sheikh and Dahab are two very popular diving destinations where the underwater world is breathtaking.

Sharm el-Sheikh
Sharm el-Sheikh is located in the Sinai Peninsula of Egypt, belonging to Asia, because it is very close to the Gaza Strip, so little known. Most tour groups come to the Red Sea of Egypt, but they only know Hurghada, but they do not know this jewel in the desert "Sharm el-Sheikh". I go to Sharm el-Sheikh twice a year, once in May and once in October. It is the beginning and the end of summer in Egypt respectively. There is a well-known scenic spot farasha cafe, built on the cliff with ancient Arab style and Arabic music. During the day, you can see the gradually changing sea, and at night, the whole cliff is lit up with a red light, which is very exotic. The second is soho Squar, which has small shopping shops, countless cafes and several Asian restaurants, and you can walk in after dinner for a cup of Arabic coffee with a hookah. There is also farasha Coffee in the city center, also called the old market, which has a super beautiful mosque and several famous seafood restaurants, and recently built a rockery with a waterfall on which you can drink water shisha, but most of the hotels nearby are around three stars, and there is no private beach. To take the hotel shuttle bus to the beach a few kilometers away, although the price is suitable but the total feeling is not very convenient, but most of the nearby soho Squar are five-star resorts, the sea is not to say, floating potential to see a lot of fish I personally recommend. Finally, in Sharm, be sure to report a day trip to the sea, about August to October in the middle of the sea will appear a magical white beach, called white island.



Here's the point... If you have a lot of time and just happen to drive, I suggest you can spend three days in Shom and then go straight back to dahab ~ nuweiba ~ taba, Dahab not to mention the dive resorts, many backpackers live there all year round to dive, and the brave can challenge the Blue Hole, After Dahab is Nuweiba This way scenery is almost minutes to make you want to jump off, too beautiful too beautiful, the sea is too blue too clear ~ in Nuweiba is mostly guesthouse and conditions are not very good hotels, but there are private beaches, and very beautiful, comfortable and quiet, you can book in advance at the hotel reception to follow the car into the mountain, there is a natural spring lake, surrounded by mountains, Many people drive hundreds of miles just for the thrill of taking the leap.

Dahab
Dahab is a small town, you can almost walk all the way there, the beautiful bay at the south end where many locals play various water sports, the north end extends to the famous dive point Blue Hole, the central commercial street is spread out along the coastal bay, marked by the Dahab Bridge, cafes and restaurants, and the beach where you can snorkel. It's an easy five to ten minute walk from the bus station to find accommodation and it's a backpacker's paradise.
Scuba diving, there are cost-effective Red Sea diving, more than the scale of the dive shop and a wealth of diving sites, cheap scuba diving courses, will be able to find the right one for you.
Winter Dahab day and night temperature difference is great, in the sun will be their own sun to hot, in the shade if not wrapped in a thin coat will be blown into a dog.

With music everywhere and dogs and cats around, the Internet in Egypt is really exciting, making it possible for you to quit doing nothing, spend two hours in the sun for brunch, afternoon coffee on the beach, and an evening spent by a campfire listening to live music or going to a dance party.

Eat 30 yuan of seafood, a few dollars of delicious cheese /honey cake, make a cheaper than Tyrande horse killed chicken (300 anglais an hour, but the time will shrink), while crying cold and rushing into the sea, seeing the sardines storm the moment you seem to become one of them. The sunset glow turned from gold to pink, and across the channel the crimson mountains of Saudi Arabia turned blue and gray to the sea.
Your life is as good as your mindset.

Blending of cultures
The culture of the Sinai Peninsula is a direct reflection of its geographical diversity. The Bedouin here have retained many of their traditional ways of life and customs. Visit the local Bedouin market where you can delve into their daily life, tasting traditional khat and delicious desert bread.
