Sinai peninsula Attractions

The coast road down the west side of the Gulf of Aqaba continues south via Nuweiba, Dahab and the Sharira pass to the port of Sharm el-Sheikh (240km/150mi from Elat). Some 15km/9mi farther south as the crow flies is Ras Muhammad, the southern tip of the Sinai peninsula, from which there is a superb view of the Red Sea, the Gulf of Suez and Gulf of Aqaba opening off its northern end and the mountains along their shores.
