I doubt that Moses actually climbed to the top of Mount Sini. It is a really long, steep climb and I'm more inclined to believe that he walked a couple hundred feet up the mountain then hid behind the nearest rock and prayed to God that he didn't have to go any further. Lets also remember that there were no trails during Biblical times. I doubt a man with Moses' poor navigational skills (remember he kept his people wandering for 40 years) could have figured out how to get to the top of Mount Sini. All skepticism aside, the climb to the top of Mount Sini was much harder than I expected. The trail begins as a long winding path and then branches just past St Katherine's Monestery. You can either take the 3,000 steps of repentence or the long "camel path". I know that I probably have a lot to repent for, but I figured not 3,000 steps worth, so I took the camel path. Although the trip was longer and steeper than I expected, the senrise over the mountains was spectacular, and made the trip worth it. Just before the sun rose, the entire sky turned shades of blue and pink. Then, within a matter of seconds, the sun appeared over the horizon. Its rays were reflected by the clouds and it reminded me of one of those pictures from an illustrated Bible. Back down at the Monestery, I gazed at the Burning Bush (FYI it wasn't still burning). The monks nodded in approval of my covered arms and head. They were the first men in Egypt who didn't make me fell like I was dressed like a common w****...
