It's east of Suez (5)

I believe the answer is:

sinai

(Other definitions for sinai that I've seen before include "Egyptian desert" , "Egyptian location" , "Mountain source of Mosaic Law" , "Peninsula, mostly desert, at north end of Red Sea" , "Part of 10 [EGYPT]" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
