I cannot find any record in the Hebrew references, but it is a common plant in the Negev Desert in S Israel. I will check also in our herbarium. Search also under its older name Scilla hanburyi. http://flora.org.il/en/plants/scihan/

Thanks, Ori. I don't have that on my lists of species in Sinai. Is there a recent publication that you know of that has a more up-to-date survey of plants here?

@SukanyaDatta, Thanks for your input! There's no record of Albuca in Sinai. I wonder if it's related to one of the other bulb species like this one: https://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/2093325622
