Remember that transport isn’t as regular as elsewhere in Egypt. You can get to most places by bus, but in many cases there are few connections a day, sometimes only one. Service taxis do not exist. Don't get cheated by paying far more that it would be the case for a service taxi in the coast route to Al-Tor.
If you are driving yourself, stick on the tracks and remember that there are still mines left over from the wars with Israel.
If you drive in winter, remember that in Sinai rains a lot more that you might think, and flash floods might wash out paved roads, usually around Wadi Feiran. Get help from bus drivers who always know of any trouble spots.
