Mt. Sinai and Monestary of St. Katherine

Called Mount Moses by the Egyptians on the Sinai Peninsula, Mt. Sinai is a popular day trip to see the sun rise. You will meet pilgrims, travelers and all other sorts making the strenuous hike. There is the option to ride a camel most of the way up, saving yourself the trouble. But what fun is that? The Monastery of St. Katherine houses the descendent of the burning bush from the story of Moses. You cannot see it anymore, being behind a wall. You have to rise at 10pm at night to make the trip, as you begin walking up the mountain at 2am with a nomad guide, required by the Egyptian government. It is well worth doing once.
