From mountain peaks to the sea, from dromedary to dolphins, from world famous religious sites to geology formations. The Sinai Peninsula is much more than one would imagine. Well, at least I imagined it differently before visiting. Also, the sun is scorching, so bring a wide-brimmed hat, wear long sleeves shirt and long pants. In two words: protect yourself. The guy you see in the rock formation photo – middle line right – the guy on the left, not the two bedouins on the right trying to repair the Toyota, suffered a sunstroke. He survived, though.

Canon A1, Canon T90, Canon Sure Shot WP-1 underwater camera. Ektachrome 100. Leaving cameras and film in the sun is a big no-no.
