A triangular peninsula on the border between the Asian and African continents. It faces the Mediterranean Sea to the north, is bounded by the Gulf of Aqaba to the east, and the Suez Canal and the Gulf of Suez to the west. In Arabic, it is called Sina. Most of the peninsula is desert, and the southern part is a mountainous area of granitic rock centered around Mount Katirina (2,637 m). The population is concentrated in the Mediterranean coastal areas and on the eastern bank of the Suez Canal, while the inland areas and the desert region in the south are inhabited by nomadic tribes such as the Sawariha and the Terabhin.
