Read More »The Sinai falls within the great arid climatic belt crossing northern Africa and southwestern Asia. Aridity is manifested in the Sinai by a degraded soil surface, sand-dune expanses, salinization, and wadis. That less-arid climatic conditions formerly prevailed is demonstrated by occasional terraces of thick alluvial and lacustrine deposits. In the Sinai’s northern, or Mediterranean, region of low relief, the climate in winter has a relatively high amount of precipitation (5 inches [125 mm]); in summer it is dry and intensely hot, and in spring and autumn it has dry southern khamsin winds and occasional torrential rains. In the southern, or Red Sea, region, the climate differs because of the mountainous nature of the terrain. The prominent peaks are covered with clouds throughout the year and with ice in winter. Again, in winter there is some precipitation in the southern region; in summer, rare monsoon winds from the southeast also account for occasional heavy precipitation. The nights are cool, even though the daytime summer heat is intense. Prevailing light winds in the Sinai are mainly from the north. Relative humidity is generally high on the coasts, reaching 74 percent along the Mediterranean and 60 percent along the Red Sea. Aside from newly irrigated areas on the northern coastal plain, the vegetation in the Sinai Desert is mostly ephemeral, but perennial scrub survives on the steep southern slopes and on the plateau to the north. Succulents and halophytes (salt-tolerant plants) are found on the subdesertic coastal plains, and medicinal and fodder plants are widely distributed. Animals are rare, but the species represented include ibex, gazelles, sand foxes, leopards, wildcats, jackals, hares, hedgehogs, and moles. Falcons and eagles are indigenous, and there are also seasonal migrants such as quail, partridge, and grouse. Get a Britannica Premium subscription and gain access to exclusive content. Subscribe Now

Learn More »The scanty population of the Sinai is mostly concentrated in the northern fringe, where water supplies are adequate, as well as in the western fringe, where petroleum and manganese industries have been developed. The settled population is engaged in agriculture, land reclamation, and pastoralism and in the petroleum, mining, fishery, and tourism industries. The nomadic Bedouin tribes migrate in search of water and pasturage but are increasingly attracted to industry and agriculture. In the mountainous south, a community of Eastern Orthodox Christian monks lives in St. Catherine’s Monastery. Petroleum, first discovered in 1910 at Mount Tanakah, in the western Sinai, is the most important mineral exploited in the peninsula. Mineral ores considered feasible for exploitation include manganese and uranium. Various other minerals are also present, and building stones, dolomite, and sands and gravels are abundant. Land reclamation and irrigation efforts using groundwater or water pumped from the Nile River have enabled several hundred thousand acres of land on the northern-coastal plain to be newly cultivated. Barley, fruits, market vegetables, dates, and olives are produced, and wood trees have been planted. Date palm groves are scattered throughout the peninsula, and some of the area’s original Bedouin inhabitants are still engaged in the nomadic grazing of livestock.
