[edit] Is Sinai part of Africa or Asia

This article and several others dont clarify this question. The "southwest asia" article has a map with Sinai colored-in as part of southwest Asia, and says Egypt is not considered a south-west asian country. Although like Turkey, there is no reason why a country can't be in two continents. My opinion ( and it is only that ) is that Sinai is more geologically attached to Asia than Africa. The Suez canal would be an appropriate boundary. The "Eilat" article says that town is on the boundary of Asia and Africa which presumably implies that the Israel-Egypt border is the boundary. Someone with more expertise than me needs to clarify this. Eregli bob 09:09, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
