The Governatorate of South Sinai is located in the peninsula of land between the Gulf of Suez on the west and the Gulf of Aqaba on the east. It can be divided into four broad geographical regions: the Gulf of Suez, where is concentrated most of South Sinai agriculture, mineral and petroleum production industry, workshops, small manufacturing and little tourism; the Gulf of Aqaba which is the prime tourism location with 90% of all capacity, and pratically no agriculture; the Central Mountains which are very dry, the population is almost exclusively Bedouin with small agriculture activities at Wadi Feiran, and tourism only for the cultural attractions of St. Caterine; the northern Desert which has almost no settlements, agriculture, tourism or other attractions and is entirely flat unrelieved by prominent features.
