Description
The Mediterranean Coastal strip of North sinai stretching between the Suez canal and Ghaza as the most important land bridge linking Egypt and Canaan from predynastic times onward. The well-traveld high ways of the North sinai facilitated the military expeditions of the egyptian pharoes on their way to Canaan and Asia as well as the invoding arms of Persia, Greece and Rome.
