The Sinai Peninsula or simply Sinai is a peninsula in Egypt, situated between the Mediterranean Sea to the north and the Red Sea to south. It is a land bridge connecting Africa to Asia.
In 38 BCE, the Hidden Ones Mentor, Bayek, travelled to the peninsula on the request of Tahira after two Hidden Ones were killed in a conflict between the occupying Roman forces and the Nabateans rebel
Trivia
- The Sinai Peninsula's name during The Hidden Ones DLC is anachronistic; the ancient Egyptions called the land "Ta Mefkat", which means "land of turquoise".
- The modern name, Sinai, is believed to have been derived from the name of the ancient Mesopotamian moon god "Sin", or from the Hebrew word Seneh (Hebrew: סֶ֫נֶּה Senneh).
- Modern Egyptians also refer to the land as Arḍ ul-Fairūz (أرض الفيروز "the land of turquoise").
