The Asian part of Egypt is the SINAI Peninsula, which is a triangular peninsula in the northeastern corner of the African continent. It is bordered by the Mediterranean Sea to the north, the Gulf of Aqaba to the east, and the Red Sea to the south. The SINAI Peninsula is a part of Egypt, but it is also considered to be part of Asia due to its geographical location. It is home to Mount SINAI, a mountain that is believed to be the place where Moses received the Ten Commandments.
