Sinai

The Sinai peninsula is a bit of Africa located in Asia, an arid triangle of hot dazzling colours, created by unimaginable geological forces between two continents. For a territoriy containing barely more than deserts and red sandstone mountains, the Sinai is steeped in history and heritage: the ancient Egyptians, the children of Moses in search of the Promised Land, the Romans, Christianity, and the modern Israelis for example. This book provides a tour of the area, visiting all the sights and historic sites, the artistic, religious and archaeological treasures, and underwater exploration among other topics.
