As I traveled further I was met by the Gates of Allah:
Showcasing the talents of Egyptian engineering and architecture.
This is a diverse park with a mixture of desert, salt water, and mountains.

This is the beautiful Ras Mohammed National Park at the southern most tip of the Sinai Peninsula. Bordered by the Bay of Suez to the east and the Bay of Aqaba to the west.

Looking at the area you would not expect to see water in this area. The architecture is incredible and I am thinking it's been there a long time
I enjoy being a arm chair traveler
