| − | The Sinai Peninsula is a peninsula lying between the [[Mediterranean Sea]] (to the north) and [[Red Sea]] (to the south). It is almost entirely desert. Mount Sinai is the name of the mountain in Sinai where [[God]] gave the [[Ten Commandments]] to Moses. Since the time of [[Saint Helena]] it has been identified with Jabal Musa (or Gebel Musa), a mountain 2,285 meters high in the southern Sinai Peninsula.
