From mountain peaks to sea, from dromedaries 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.
