A triangular peninsula in Egypt between the Mediterranean and Red Seas. Also refers to Mount Sinai, the biblical mountain where Moses received the Ten Commandments.
From Hebrew 'Sinay,' possibly derived from the Hebrew word 'seneh' meaning 'bush' (as in burning bush) or from the moon god Sin worshipped in the region. The name has been used for over 3,000 years.
The Sinai Peninsula is one of the few places on Earth where you can stand at the intersection of two continents—Africa and Asia! Its strategic location has made it a crossroads of civilizations, religions, and trade routes for millennia, earning it the nickname 'the bridge between worlds.'
