ABSTRACT: The work presented here deals with geographical-geological sites in the mountains of eastern Sinai in Egypt. The mountains of eastern Sinai, are characterized also by very interesting geological formations. The geological section in that region includes granite rocks on its basis, above which appear several formations of sandstones, above which appear also hard limestone rocks. The region of eastern Sinai is also located, at a meeting point between the two following big geomorphological structures, which are also in perpendicular directions. The Syrian-African rift valley, whose direction is north-south. The E Tih cliff crosses central Sinai in the east-west direction. As a consequence of those geological-geomorphological characteristics, we can see in the mountains of eastern Sinai, also combinations of deep canyons with variety of several types of rocks, isolated mountains, and also valleys with several kinds of sandstones.
