Desert of north-east Egypt (5)

I believe the answer is:

sinai

(Other definitions for sinai that I've seen before include "11 Across peninsula" , "Ten Commandments mountain" , "Mount on which Moses received the Ten Commandments" , "Mountainous peninsula in Egypt" , "Deserted area" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
