Sinai Peninsula

"The Sinai Peninsula? That must've been a land bridge between Asia and Africa, right? Well, I think it'll take me to Egypt right away."

--Su Ji-Hoon, Sinai

The Sinai Peninsula or simply Sinai (/ˈsaɪnaɪ/; Arabic: سيناء‎ Sīnā'; Egyptian Arabic: سينا‎ Sīna, IPA: [ˈsiːnæ]; Hebrew: סִינַי‬ Sinai; is a peninsula in Egypt, the only part of the country located in Asia. It is situated between the Mediterranean Sea to the north and the Red Sea to the south, and is a land bridge between Asia and Africa. Sinai has a land area of about 60,000 km2 (23,000 sq mi) and a population of approximately 1,400,000 people. Administratively, the Sinai Peninsula is divided into two governorates: the South Sinai Governorate and the North Sinai Governorate. Three other governorates span the Suez Canal, crossing into African Egypt: Suez Governorate on the southern end of the Suez Canal, Ismailia Governorate in the center, and Port Said Governorate in the north.
