Numerous dendritic wadis drain the mountains. These wadis often support a rich and diverse flora.
The spectacular mountains and wadis of South Sinai take up approximately one-third of the peninsula. As with other mountain terrain in Egypt, flash floods often denude the narrow wadi bottoms of vegetation. Despite this, the relative abundance of precipitation and a number of springs in the wadis support a rich diversity of plant and animal life including more than 50% of all the plants that are endemic to Egypt.
