a series of travel images from Africa, Egypt, Sinai. The Sinai Peninsula, often shortened to Sinai is the easternmost part of Egypt between the Mediterranean and the Gulfs of Suez and Aqaba, both forks of the Red Sea. Travellers usually come here to explore the excellent underwater scenery near Sharm el Sheikh or Dahab. The central parts and the north are largely desert and some Bedouin people live a nomadic lifestyle or in some settlements in the east. Near the town of Nuweiba in the east is the Coloured Canyon offering spectacular landscapes to explore and climbing Mount Sinai with St. Catherine's Monastery (a Unesco world heritage site) is also on many travellers itinerary. Parts of the Sinai are considered unsafe so make sure to check the latest situation before venturing out.
