Day 9
Mount Sinai
Left Jordan and Omar and drove most of the next day to a hostel at the foot of Mount Sinai. Went into an old stone building where about 50 travellers were sitting around a bonfire in the room. The place was full plus they had dozens of tents outside. Five of us girls shared a room. The Arabs served us a great dinner. After dinner we sat around the fire with everyone and had a couple of beers.

The rest of the group left at 3 am to go to the top of Mt. Sinai to see the sunrise. It’s where God was supposed to have given Moses the Ten Commandments. It was two hours walk each way or some of them rode camels. I drew the line at riding a camel, they are too big, cranky, and uncomfortable so stayed in bed. They got back at nine tired and disappointed as it was so cloudy they didn’t see the sunrise
