South Sinai, Egypt

They called South Sinai the area of mountainous and beach-bound part of Sinai. It is a huge, jagged and rusty mountain range. 
What keeps Sinai on the tourist map are its beaches. However, the interior has a lot to offer as emotions and experiences - organized safaris diversify and charge tourists with adrenaline. But it is not a bad option to explore the area on foot. 
The first stop on the tour of South Sinai is the village of St. Catherine, located near the monastery of the same name, falling within the protected area "St. Catherine" - a mountain park established by ministerial decree in 1996.
On an area of ​​about 4350 sq. km. are located a unique desert ecosystem, amazing landscape and many historical objects. One of the routes coming out of the park leads to Wadi Arbain and covers the Rock of Moses, which is said to have gushed water from the 12 cracks received when Moses struck it. The local tribal chief Sheikh Musa is the right person who can arrange an adventurous walk in the village of al-Migla. Another trip that is worth organizing is the one to the Blue Valley, which owes its name to the Belgian landscape painter Jean Verame. He paints all the large stones in the valley blue as a symbol of peace and creates a truly surreal picture. Another valley also has something to impress - Wadi Feiran. Its howling, surrounded on all sides, is dotted with palm trees.
If the route of the tour of South Sinai continues west, the road will invariably pass the remains of a pharaoh's temple on Mount Serabit al-Qadim. The temple dates back to the Twelfth Dynasty and was built in honor of the goddess Hathor. 
Next to it is a sanctuary dedicated to the falcon god Sopdu, bearing the marks of the New Kingdom of Egypt. The inscriptions on it read the names of his benefactors, including Thutmose III and Hatshepsut.
