Mt. Sinai - The Trek Down





I attempted to take a camel ride to go down Mt. Sinai. But it is not a comfortable ride as your crotch constantly hits the saddle grip as the camel descends the mountain. So after a few minutes I decided to do the trek down on foot. It was faster and not really exhausting.

At the foot of Mt. Sinai is the Monastery of St. Katherine. This houses the burning bush through which God is said to have spoken to Moses.

Since it was midday by the time we reached the Monastery, it was so hot that everyone was looking forward to getting on the air conditioned bus for the trip back to our hotel.
