Hotels in South Sinai, Egypt

South Sinai is a desert peninsula on Egypt's Red Sea, famous for world-class diving and the biblical Mount Sinai. Winters are mild (70°F/21°C) and perfect for snorkeling at Ras Mohammed National Park or climbing to the summit for sunrise-a 2-hour hike from St. Catherine's Monastery. Summers are hot (100°F/38°C), but you can escape the heat by diving the reefs of Sharm el-Sheikh or windsurfing in Dahab's lagoon, with July bringing stronger winds for kiteboarding.
