Mount Sinai is one of those mythical places, probably because Moses was there, that we don’t even really think of as real. Guess what, it is real! I took this shot of Jill and our guide as we were walking up Mount Sinai.

IF YOU GO: Stay in St. Catherine’s near the mountain and do your hike in the afternoon for sunset. Most people will stay at their resort on the coast, board a bus a midnight, and hike up by the hundreds in the pre-dawn hours when it’s dark and cold. We shared out sunset with about a dozen other people and were able to make a very nice day of it…..and with a normal night’s sleep as well!

“Just think… Moses did this in sandals…”
Summiting Mount Sinai was one of the most incredible things I have ever done. I did it for sunrise… amazing.

I know and we did it in trail shoes! Although I’m usually not a fan of being awake & exercising at 3am, there is something special about hiking at night, in the dark, waiting for the sun to rise! I think it would be especially nice atop Sinai.
