The peninsula acquired the name Sinai in modern times due to the assumption that a mountain near Saint Catherine's Monastery is the Biblical Mount Sinai. [2] Mount Sinai is one of the most religiously significant places in the Abrahamic faiths. The Sinai Peninsula has been a part of Egypt from the First Dynasty of ancient Egypt (c. 3100 BC).
The hypothesis that this mountain is the original Mount Sinai has faced criticism. [3] Some of the arguments against the proposal that Hashem El Tarif is Mount Sinai are as follows: There is no mention in history of Hashem El Tarif, nor any well-known local tradition pointing to it as Mount Sinai.

In addition to Saint Catherine's Monastery and Mount Sinai, of prime historical interest is the palace of Abbas I, the Wali and self-declared Khedive of Egypt and Sudan between 1849 and 1854. The palace was built on a mountain at the time called Jebel Tinya, but later named after him and today called Jebel Abbas Basha.
