Sinai peninsula: Egypt's triangular Sinai Peninsula lies in the center of the view, with the dark greens of the Nile delta lower right. In this SSW-looking view the Red Sea, with its characteristic parallel coastlines, stretches toward the top. At the bottom of the view the Suez Canal appears as an irregular line joining the Red Sea to the Mediterranean Sea (lower left). The Dead Sea in central Israel, with its light blue salt ponds at the south end, appears on the left margin.
