The Eastern Desert was used as a trade route from the Nile to the Red Sea.This article aims to be an analytical- descriptive study of some inscriptions of king Senusert II which were discovered either in Sinai or in the Eastern Desert that date back to the 12th dynasty, Middle Kingdom. This paper aims to study the pieces in subject, its date, and the inscriptions that they carry. It represents translation and transliteration for the text in addition to an analytical study of the stelae or text through the inscriptions that were found on these pieces
