Mount Sin Bishar, in the west-central part of the peninsula, was proposed to be the biblical Mount Sinai by Menashe Har-El, a biblical geographer at Tel Aviv University.[78] Mount Helal, in the north of the peninsula has also been proposed.[79][80] Another northern Sinai suggestion is Hashem el-Tarif, some 30 km west of Eilat, Israel.[81][82]
