Visit The Sinai Peninsula.

Stunningly desolate isolation, a delicate peninsular boundary between 2 continents, holy land and war zone, the Sinai has always been a special place.  It’s only been in the last few years that Sinai has shed its buffer zone image and opened its secrets to the adventurous traveler.  Now, as a mecca for camel-trekkers, scuba enthusiasts and those in search of “something completely different,” Sinai welcomes tourism.  And, of course, once there it’s a short hop on to Israel or a scenic ferry ride to Jordan.

“Take off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the ground on which thou standest is holy ground,” said the Lord to Moses (Deuteronomy 3:13).  And on that spot Roman emperor Justinian built a fortress monastery in 537 C.E.  St. Catherine’s, named for an Alexandrian 4^th Century martyr, has been a place of pilgrimage for centuries.  The Chapel of the Burning Bush, the incredible 6^th Century mosaics, climbing to see the sun rise on Mt. Sinai -- these are all part of the experience you can share.

Traversing the ancient mountain ranges from St. Catherine’s east to the Gulf of Aqaba is a journey through some of the most enthralling landscapes on the planet.  The Gulf, part of the long geological fault running south through Africa’s Great Rift Valley, is only 10 miles wide but in places as much as 6,000 feet deep.  The coral reefs lining the shores teem with life and color and many say they offer the world’s best and unspoiled diving.  In a beautiful natural harbor the town of Sharm El Sheikh is a center for southern peninsula diving and offers boat dive and liveaboard access to this natural paradise.

Further up the coast the small town of Dahab offers diving as well as camel trekking into the interior.  And if you’ve never had the good fortune to sail a “ship of the desert,” go ahead and take the plunge (sorry! very bad pun).  Yes, you can even get to your dive destination via camel…the camels tote tanks and all equipment and it probably worth doing for the photo value alone!  It’s practically impossible to fall off a camel and once you get accustomed to the rolling gate, you can focus on the view from sitting 7 feet high.  It gives the world a whole new perspective, decidedly laid-back and “Bedouin.”  And offers an insight as to what native life has been for hundreds of years in Sinai’s 10,000 square miles of breath-taking emptiness.
