Sinai
- land of discovery. The route to the Promised Land; where
Isis sought Osiris and the Pharaohs found gold. Where Moses
witnessed the Burning Bush and Bedouins camped by Crusader
forts. A meeting point for three great religions, at the crossroads
of Africa and Asia.

After
8,000 years at the heart of history, experience the continuing
contrasts. Sinai: where rock meets coral reef and the desert
stops at the sea. Where the grandeur of granite meets the
golden beaches of the "Red Sea Riviera". Of tropical fish
and rare birds; spectacular sunsets and clear starry nights.

One
of the few remaining places on earth almost untouched by modern
civilization, Sinai "the Land of Turquoise", is a rocky triangle
of holy places, pilgrim trails and military outposts. Modern
visitors follow in the footsteps of legendary gods and goddesses,
ancient warriors and biblical heroes.
Sinai
remains a land of verdant oases, flat desert expanses and
towering granite mountains, where the Goddess Isis came in
search or Osiris; where Alexander the great fought; where
Moses received the Ten Commandments; and through which the
Holy Family travelled en route to Egypt.
