Mount Sinai/Gabal Moussa by Yousra Serry, Egypt – photo essay –
Mount Sinai, or Gabal Mousa, as we say in Egypt, is the place where it’s believed Mousa/Moshe/Moses received the ten commandments from God. It’s around a 3 to 4 hours climb and takes it takes between 2 to 3 hours to come back down ( depending on your pace and the strength you have left). The trip usually starts at midnight to reach the very top just in time to witness the beautiful sunrise. It’s one of the most physically (and sometimes emotionally) exhausting things to do but it really is a great experience.
