I can’t say I had a great plan to go and hike up Mt. Sinai, but when a few friends had mentioned the idea, I was in. We found some cheap tickets to Sharm El-Sheikh and made our way to do a quick tour of the mountain. It’s not a large mountain, and certainly not a difficult climb, but it was a valuable evening to get the opportunity to see a place out of history and mythology. I can’t say I really loved Sharm very much for my trip out there, but I was glad to get the opportunity to hike this historic location. We arrived slightly before sunrise, and I prayed, and we sat and watched the sun peak its way through the clouds in front of us. (Maybe I will try to post a photo of the sunrise at a later date). The land around us that was completely pitch black when we arrived started to come into shape and I could see the starkness of the landscape. I wonder if this is how the world looked so many thousands of years past as well.
Sadly no burning bushes were sighted during this trip.
