Finding Serenity in Egypt's Sinai Trails
Egypt's Sinai peninsula is a vast and rugged region, home to mountains, deserts, and a rich cultural heritage.
Located on the southern tip of the peninsula are the resort towns of Sharm El Sheikh and Dahab, known for their beautiful beaches, diving sites, and vibrant nightlife.
However, the rest of the peninsula remains less explored, despite its significant importance in Islam, Christianity, and Judaism.
The story of the Exodus begins with Moses fleeing to Sinai as a fugitive, where he encounters the Burning Bush through which God commands him to return to Egypt and free the Israelites from slavery.
The area offers a unique trekking experience, with unmarked paths and the opportunity to camp under the stars, led by Bedouin guides.
The region is also home to Saint Catherine's Monastery, a significant cultural and historical landmark.
