Abstract
During some tours to the high mountain region of southern Sinai, that I did in different occasions between 1979-1984, I received from different Bedouin guides some information, about geographical sites in that region. Part of that information does not appear in the updated maps of southern Sinai. Therefore, I would like to bring here that geographical information. The areas to which that geographical information refers are: the mountain massif of Santa Katarina, and also the mountain massif of Jebel Bab, which is located about 8 km - 10 km WSW of the Santa Katarina village or town.
