There is no life in the Sinai. What makes it famous is the side of this mountain of religiosity. Thousands of years ago, when the children of Israel’s exodus from Egypt to Canaan, they stopped at the mountain. Just below the foot of their mountain camp. Then to top this mountain climbing, and Moses met with God, who then came down with two stone tablets containing 10 well-known law of God is.

Sinai stone is then carried anywhere by the Israelites during their wanderings in the desert and become one of the most important artifact in the history of Israel’s monotheistic then placed in the ark of the covenant of Israel’s sacred objects. That is why, in the Arab-Israeli war, this area had ruled Israel and regarded as one of their holy places. In the peace treaty, and then handed back to Egypt, which until now treating and managing ¬ place as one of the famous religious tourist destinations.

My goal really is to Eilat. A city that Israel’s ‘closest’ from Egypt. In the mid-way to the Taba border in Eilat, we can turn for a moment to enter the Sinai region. It really is a challenging journey. Buses are leaving from the morning of Egypt arrived at the foot of Mount Sinai in the evening around 5 o’clock.

Because of the way there are no restaurants, all the hotels in Egypt has set the rules: the tourists who travel cross gulf will be provided food boxes, and snek. It’s just that they do not want to give a lot of drinking water. If we need additional mineral water, we can afford to drivers who carry enough stock in the trunk. Hmm, seems smart business.

One thing interesting on the way to Sinai is the presence of an armed guard wearing a tie but who continue to follow the bus journey from Egypt to the Sinai to the border and then back again into Egypt. They were ordered to guard the route and the safety of tourists to the destination.

The presence of such guards also pass through security to a very strict military along the Trans-Egypt. Why? Right in the middle of the route, we’ll pass an area is high security area. Soldiers stationed in that place, according to the narrative ¬ a bodyguard who was in the bus, must be on guard 24 hours in a state ready for combat. Understandably, Suez Canal is one of the economic power of Egypt and its existence is vital. Middle East region continues to be turbulent as the Suez makes an easy target for terrorists, economic sabotage. Buses should not stop and must be passed. Suez Canal region is famous for, while dividing the two parts of Egypt, namely Africa and Asia. The canal began in 1870, ¬ operate as a result of the design of a French engineer named Ferdinand de Lesseps, which connects the Mediterranean to the Red Sea along the 163 kilometers.

The existence of the canal is very beneficial for the economy and the flow of goods to and from the African region. If the goods had been unloaded at the Mediterranean port for then taken by road to the Red Sea area, now cargo ships can sail directly into the Red Sea into Africa through these channels.

Suez Canal as it passes through, we can not watch the ships passing through the area because the bus went down into the ground through a tunnel under the canal. There already is a bus lane along the path with a width of 1 kilometer around 4 bus bodies, which allows us to ‘cross’ Suez to Egypt in the Asian region.
