The Mitla Pass (Arabic: ممر متلة, Hebrew: מיתלה) is a 32 km-long snaky pass in the Sinai of Egypt, wedged between mountain ranges to the north and south, located about 50 km east of Suez. It is famous as the site of major battles between the militaries of Egypt and Israel during the wars of 1956, 1967, and 1973.

Famous quotes containing the word pass:
“Every man that sings a song
Keeps Parnell in his mind
For Parnell was a proud man,
No prouder trod the ground,
And a proud man’s a lovely man
So pass the bottle round.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
