This clue might be a double definition.

'wrong road for mountain' is the first definition.
'sinai' can be an answer for 'mountain' (I've seen this before). I am not certain of the 'wrong road for' bit.

'one in the middle east' is the second definition.
('Sinai' is part of 'middle east')

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sinai that I've seen before include "desert area" , "Egyptian location" , "Deserted area" , "Biblical mount" , "Mount where Moses received God's law" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
