Sinai

This article is a stub. You can help Assassin's Creed Wiki by expanding it.

The Sinai Peninsula, or simply the Sinai, is a peninsula in eastern 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, traveled 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.

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, or "the land of turquoise").
According to the Bible, Mount Sinai is the place where Moses was appointed by God to lead the Israelites out of Egypt and into Canaan.
Despite being portrayed as being completely occupied by the Romans, and despite Gamilat implying that the people of the Sinai recognized Cleopatra as their rightful queen, the Sinai was actually part of the independent Nabataean Kingdom at the time, and wasn't conquered by Rome until 106 AD.
