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.
