The Sinai (Arabic: سِینَا) is a triangular peninsula in Northeastern Egypt.
The western boundary of the peninsula is formed by the Gulf of Suez and the Suez Canal, while it is separated from Saudia Arabia and Jordan to the east by the Gulf of Aqaba. 
The southern tip of Sinai points into the Red sea, while the eastern Mediteranian sea bounds its northern shores. 
The Sinai Peninsula is 23,400 square mi (67,000 square km) in area, with a population of approximately 300,000. 
The land is arid, with relatively few oases at which the bulk of the population is located, although there are also Bedouin following a nomadic lifestyle with their tents and herds. 
Its physical geography is characterized by three major regions: the sandy coastal plain of the north, the high limestone plateau in the center, and the mountains of the south.
