Geographia To quote from the site "Its Biblical sites
have drawn spiritual pilgrims through the wadis and the waters
of the Sinai Peninsula for nearly 2,000 years, but Sinai today
is anything but the barren prison it was for Moses and the Israelites.
For scuba divers, in fact, the coral reefs of the Red Sea are
an absolute paradise. Geographia brings you the web's most comprehensive
guide to the land where manna fell from heaven."
