Sinai Desert Egypt
On the border of these two continents, one finds Sinai Peninsula, which takes the shape of a triangle and separates Africa from Asia. Sinai Peninsula measures from west to east more than two hundred kilometers in size and four hundred kilometers long. About six hundred kilometers constitute the whole length that runs through its southern part along the coast.
The Gulf of Suez is to the west and goes deep down as deep as eighty meters at its deepest point. With a depth of about 1800 meters situated in its deepest area, the eastern section of this peninsula is comprised by Gulf of Aqaba. The Sinai Peninsula is split into North Sinai governorate and South Sinai governorate. Sinai belongs to Egypt. Egypt is made up of these two governorates as well as the other twenty-five that are located west of the Suez Canal.
The Sinai has a little population. There are slightly more than 430.000 inhabitants living in the northern part of the Peninsula and roughly 165.000 in the southern half. In the Northern Half, most people live in El Arish, Nekhel, Sheikh Zuweid, Bir El Abd, and Rafah.
The governorate of South Sinai has a total land area of 33,140 km2. Its north boundary extends from Taba in the east to Suez in the west.
