Al Mashaya Street Dahab City

The Sinai seems like a scary place. There are lots of security checkpoints. There are rules on needing police escorts for certain parts. Travel advisories are up for large swaths of both the Northern and Southern Sinai. So let's avoid the Sinai right? Not so fast. Yes the Sinai has some weird rules and quirks in terms of getting around. However, the Sinai is an extremely unique area. Hiking, snorkeling, cultural activities, historical monuments, nightlife - you can expect to find all of these in the Sinai. It's a far cry from Cairo, Luxor, or Alexandria, maybe you could even say relaxing. And with a location adjacent to Eilat, Israel, and Aqaba, Jordan, it's a melange of Egyptian craziness with Levantine comfort. So how should you spend your time in the Sinai? Great question, and I'm here to answer that!
