Sinai landscape, fauna and flora: unforgettable Egyptian scenery

I just returned from the Sinai Peninsula and I am already homesick.

Before going, I had tried to prepare myself mentally with books and photos but no account could have described fully what I saw during my stay. You really need to experience for yourself the desert, the beautiful mountains, the warm and starry nights, the rocky (but also green) Mount Sinai and the amazing tropical Red Sea fish.

I know now why people come and return to the Sinai Peninsula.
