History Take off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the ground on which thou standest is holy ground.
Vast colorful desert planes, contrasted by magnificent red and brown mountains, white sandy beaches lined with palm trees and deep down below, possibly the world's best coral reefs. These are but some of the reasons why Sinai, with Sharm El-Sheikh as its capital, attracts more tourists than any other place in the region. One must not forget that Sinai was host to many religious miracles in the past, which provide the peninsula with its holy atmosphere. Elijah, Abraham and Jacob, the prophets of Judaism, Christianity and Islam have roamed and wandered through its deserts. It is in Sinai where God is said to have spoken to Moses, and, of course where He performed the famous parting of The Red Sea.
