Sinai Peninsula, Peninsula in northeastern Egypt.
The triangular landmass connects Africa and Asia, bordered by the Mediterranean Sea in the north and the Red Sea in the south.
The peninsula experienced multiple military occupations, including Israeli control from 1967 until the Egypt-Israel Peace Treaty in the late 1970s.
The region includes Saint Catherine's Monastery at Mount Sinai, where according to religious texts, Moses received the Ten Commandments.
The peninsula divides into two governorates: North Sinai with El Arish as capital and South Sinai with El Tor as administrative center.
The peninsula contains mineral resources such as copper, phosphates, and iron, while supporting various tourism sectors from leisure to religious activities.
