This Sinai landrace was collected in the mountains of Egypt between 1990 and 1997. It exhibits unique terpenes, a special high, and sought-after Indica-type plants. This is an early maturing strain that can show day-neutral (autoflowering) traits.

Indica-type expressions of this Sinai landrace range from 0.6 to 1.5 metres and have a compact Christmas-tree profile. Sativa-type plants range 1.3 – 1.8 metres and have a trainable ‘vine’ habit with prolific branching. Both types express a unique rose scent, with Indica-type plants intensely pungent during vegetative growth but developing tangy ‘Turkish delight’ aromas during flower. Buds grow in a foxtail structure, are reasonably airy, and are resinous. Buds of Indica-type plants are less leafy and more dense.

This Sinai landrace is very hardy due to the demanding conditions in Egypt’s mountains, which range from around 50°c in summer to near freezing conditions in winter. Cultivation by Bedouin in the wadi is basic, occasionally using mud brought in from the Nile, but usually only camel dung.

The high from Sinai cannabis is distinctive, with a medicating and blissful effect.

Landraces native to Sinai share more traits with strains found to the north in the Middle East, which is the direction from which they originally diffused out of Inner Asia, than with those found to the south in Sub-Saharan Africa.

A proportion of plants will exhibit CBD. A standout specimen tested in Holland exhibited 16% THC and 1.5% CBD.
