Abstract

The issue of the history of secular tourism in Sinai rarely figures out in the writings of historians, though Sinai is well-known as an important destination for religious tourism. European pilgrims to Palestine used to visit religious sites of Sinai, where secular destinations in Sinai were mentioned, described and even praised. Successive rulers and governments in Egypt, from 1805 to 1936, had different attitudes towards Sinai's tourist attractions. Sinai's visitors similarly had different targets of their visits. This paper throws light on the different features of secular tourism in Sinai during   the 19th century and early decades of the 20th century of our common era.  In Sinai, the visit of religious sites is often mixed with Safari trips and environment enjoyment in a way that produce a unique and unforgettable adventure.
