and their Highlights |

"Located in the southern part
of the Sinai peninsula. The clear & life-rich waters are indisputably among
the best diving venues on the planet. The geological wonders of the land
itself, its Wadis (Valleys), deserts and oases are graining their own
recognition for their beauty and ecological wealth. The Sinai is also a center
of religious pilgrimage because of Mt. Sinai's prominent role in the
Bible" |

History
Crossroad of Africa & Asia,
where Moses witnessed the Burning Bush, the Holy Family passed along during its
flight into Egypt and where Amr Ibn El Aas went across on his Islamic Invasion
of the country. After 8,000 years of history, experience the continuing
contrast. For further information refer to 'Sinai and
its highlights' on our Spring Tours site.

both, the imposing mountains of South Sinai and the green oases along
palm-fringed beaches.
