The Sinai Peninsula is a peninsula in Egypt about 23,000 in area. It borders the Mediterranean Sea to the north, the Gulf of Suez and Gulf of Aqaba to the west and east, and the Red Sea to its south, and most of the peninsula consists of desert and mountains. It was historically important due to being the location of Mount Sinai, the Suez Canal, fighting in the Six-Day War and Yom Kippur War, and the Islamist Sinai insurgency of the 2010s.
