So this can't be a long post, but I just feel the need to inform everyone that I rode a camel/climbed to the top of Mount Sinai today. In the dark. I had to get up at 1:30 am. Made it to the top in time for the sunrise and made it down before 8. It was amazing. But probably the scariest thing I've ever done. There were a couple of times where I thought I was going to fall off a cliff. And the kid guiding my camel was about 10 years old and didn't speak any English. Terrifying.
My legs were shaking for a long time when I finally made it down, but I felt so accomplished. I climbed Mount Sinai!!

I never climbed mount sinai because of the experience you had. I think in the desert you have more incredible sunrise then the one on mount sinai. I traveled many times to sinai and stayed in Ghannah Lodge near Nuweiba.
ReplyDeleteYeah getting to the top of Mount Sinai was pretty crazy, but the view of the sunrise from the top was way worth it.
ReplyDeleteThen again, I didn't get a chance to watch the sunrise from other points in the desert. Maybe I'll check out the Ghannah Lodge if I ever go back again :)
