Conquering Mount Sinai: A Trek to Remember
We did it! We climbed Mount Sinai! Let me tell you, it was no easy feat, but the reward was absolutely worth it.
We started our day bright and early, registering with the tourism police and hiring our guide, Ahmed. Armed with water, snacks, and a whole lot of determination, we began our ascent. The hike was tough, but the stunning scenery made every step worthwhile. We passed through a quaint coffee shop where we grabbed some local treats and met a friendly cat who decided to join us for most of the journey.
Unfortunately, the Monastery of Saint Catherine was closed due to COVID-19 restrictions, but that didn’t dampen our spirits. We pressed on towards the summit, the legendary site where Moses received the Ten Commandments. The final stretch was incredibly challenging, but the moment we reached the peak was pure exhilaration. The panoramic view was simply breathtaking.
After soaking in the incredible atmosphere and leaving our mark in the summit’s notebook, we began the descent. Our legs were burning, but the sense of accomplishment kept us going. We said our goodbyes to Ahmed, our amazing guide, and headed back to our accommodations.
Climbing Mount Sinai was undoubtedly one of the most challenging yet rewarding experiences of our lives. We’re still recovering, but it’s a price we’re happy to pay for such an unforgettable adventure. If you’re up for a physical and spiritual challenge, we wholeheartedly recommend this trek. Just remember to give yourself a day or two to rest afterwards!
