Wikipedia description:

The Mitla Pass (Arabic: ممر متلة, Hebrew: מיתלה) is a 480-metre-high (1,570 ft) pass snaking 32 kilometres (20 mi) in the Sinai Peninsula of Egypt, wedged between mountain ranges to the north and south. It is located about 50 kilometres (31 mi) east of Suez. It is a monotonous ride through here and Nekhel, a wilderness that provides the shortest route between Nuweiba and Cairo. Buses carrying tourists to Mount Sinai, St. Catherine's Monastery, and Feiran Oasis travel through there.
