The history of the Sinai Peninsula

The Sinai Peninsula is a landmass situated between the Mediterranean Sea to the north and the Red Sea to the south. To its east lies the Gulf of Aqaba, and to its west is the Suez Canal. In addition to its formal name, Egyptians also refer to it as Arḍ ul-Fayrūz (أرض الفيروز 'the land of turquoise') It is considered one of the best areas for tourism in our Egypt Tours.

In the 7th century BC, the Assyrians conquered Egypt and made the Sinai a province of their empire. The peninsula was later controlled by a succession of foreign powers including the Persians, Greeks, Romans, Arabs, Crusaders, Mamluks, and Ottomans. In modern times, Egypt regained control of the Sinai following its victory in the 1967 Arab-Israeli War. All this historical information about the Sinai Peninsula you will discover during our Egypt day tours.
