Climbed Mount Sinai and the walled city/monestary St Catherine (AD 565)

Some of the highway stops are loud smelly and dirty, but some are super nice in the snack realm

Long long drive from the hotel, then we had an utterly relentless guide. The whole climb was about 3 miles, from 5000 feet to 7500 feet altitude at peak, ending in 750 stairs.

It was a bit arduous for me but punctuated with a humorous number of snack huts with warm soda, melted chocolate bars, and cats of course, even one a few feet from the peak where there’s a chapel and mosque.
