It will take you to some of
the real beauty of the Sinai Desert and lots of other
things that make the Sinai the special place it is. We
hope that some of you who have been there will browse
around our website and hopefully recapture some old
memories and some of the magic feeling of being in the
Sinai. And for those of you who haven't been there, maybe
surfing around these pages will fire up your imagination,
curiosity and sense of adventure enough to go there
yourself someday.
And even if you
never go, it's a rich and great place to read and
learn about.
I lived in Israel from 1976 until
1982. I traveled all over the Sinai when it was
controlled by Israel. I hiked the wadis and mountains of
the south... the coast line of the Gulf of Suez... the
Gulf of Akaba… the desolate El Tih plateau of
central Sinai...the waves of sand dunes of northern
Sinai… and most of the oases that dot this
peninsula.
It's in Egyptian hands now. I know
there have been many changes that have taken place there
in the last few years, but some things will always be the
same- the beauty and timelessness of the
desert!.
Sinai is a wonderful place- unique
really, a crossroads of some of the most ancient of
civilizations the world has ever known. Its sands and
mountains have known the ancient Egyptians, Israelites,
Canaanites, Babylonians, Assyrians, Edomites, Phoenicans,
Greeks, Nabateans, Romans, Turks, British and the modern
Israelis and Egyptians again.
Hopefully the things that make
Sinai such a special place will be protected and
preserved for everyone to enjoy and experience for all
time. I certainly hope so, especially for the sake of the
people who inhabit the Sinai today and all the peoples of
that part of the world.
Well folks,
please drop us some mail if know us or even if you
don't. But more than anything else we hope you
enjoy yourself here and maybe just find something
you like.
