The orange side of the triangle is mostly a lowland desert walk, through canyons, long, winding wadis, and desert plains, but there are some challenging mountains on the way. The turquoise side of the triangle is significantly more challenging, with much more ascent and descent; this route winds through the highest mountains of the Sinai, summitting the Sinai’s most iconic peaks, and it involves significant stretches of scrambling and walking on poor, loose trails. The dark blue side of the triangle is a classic traverse through one of the greatest sand deserts in the Sinai: the Bedouin simply call it ‘El Ramla’: ‘The Sand’. There are canyons along the way and the route also ascents table top mountains, but it is not as challenging as the turquoise side of the trail. The green routes signify classic short routes on which the main trail can be easily accessed or departed.
