Our first day in Egypt was unbelievable--we enjoyed amazing views on our way to the top of Mount Sinai. The experience was altogether incredible, but what made it even more fun was that our ascent to the summit was atop camels!! My camel's name was Whiskey, and Jacob named his Lady because the guide told us she was female. The views along the way were amazing, but especially from the top. It was also really cool to be there, where Moses received the 10 commandments. (well, probably--it's impossible to know absolutely for sure) I also really love the account in 1 Kings 19: 8-12 that took place at Sinai.
You can tell from the next photo that the mountain was really steep at times. We marveled at how the camels made the treacherous climb, knowing where to step and how to traverse the terrain.
The camels took us within a few hundred feet of the summit. But those last 700ish stairs to the top were pretty rough--the air was thin, and it was straight up. I was SO GRATEFUL to have ridden Whiskey! The hike down (no camels) was crazy--we took the steeper route. I'm still a little sore from the trek, but it was so worth it!
