South Sinai

The Gulf of Suez defines much of South Sinai – its western coast links desert settlements with Egypt’s Red Sea routes and supports tourism alongside maritime activity. The governorate occupies the southern end of the Sinai Peninsula, where rugged, largely arid mountains run between the Gulf of Suez and the Gulf of Aqaba. Sharm El Sheikh and Dahab are internationally known bases for diving and coastal holidays, while the inland highlands lead to Mount Sinai and Saint Catherine’s Monastery, a sixth-century Christian monastery. Bedouin communities remain an important part of the peninsula’s cultural fabric. Find related webcams around Sinai and the Red Sea coast to build a fuller picture of South Sinai.
