Sinai mountain
africa tourism attraction Sinai mountain
Tire. Really journey that need fit stamina. Try Anda imagines, sit kept quiet in air-conditioned bus but not felt chilled and along the way panorama that shown only barren desert field. There is no beautiful view. There's only sand carpet and mount sturdy stone, run dry, without green plants. Once in a while in street boundary is seen dry date grove and dusty palm boom from oasis that has ran dry. More than anything else bus walks like snail that terseok-seok in rocky mountain gaps and desert.
The difference, they first really reside in in atmosphere [of] full [of] dread is being pursued team Fir'aun. They also must look for street by it self. Now, pewisata remain trace very nice asphalt pavement its construction. Street that intentionally designed with heatresistant bony cement construction and can be passed by heavy-weight truck. That sebabnya its public road never surging.
Street [go] toes Sinai is one of way Trans-Mesir. No wonder all the way, we will rub up against peng big truckstransport food-stuff and factory significant. Day already toward the year afternoon when bus enter area Sinai. Really like brochure that alloted at the beginning of journey.
Sinai is a bentangan area very big mountain and length. Significant [of] that form area this is the limestone mixture and granite red that rich in containan mineral crystalizes. When we break bongkahan that granite, then bebasir is referred [as] will bounce very beautiful light like jewel stone.
There is no life in Sinai. That make it are recognized is side this religiusitas mount. Thousands of last year, moment bani exodus Israel from Egypt [go] to Kanaan, they halting-place in this mount. Precise below/under their hillside camp. Later upwards Mozes this top of the mountain climb and come in contact with God, be next go down bring two lohs stone contains 10 Hukums God that recognized that.
Loh stone this Sinai later, brought-bring kemana even also by Israel nation during their adventure in desert and become one of primary artefak in the history be next Israel monotheist is placed in tabut object agreement keramat Israel property. That sebabnya, in action Arab-Israel, this region is have time to controlled Israel and considered as one of sanctum their. In covenant of peace, then delivered return to Egypt, that until now take care of and memanage that place as one of target wisata religi are recognized.
My Target virtual is Eilat. A city of Israel property that 'closest' from Egypt. In the middle of street [go] to Taba Border in Eilat, we can turn around for a moment to enter area Sinai. Virtual this journey that challenge. Bus that leave since morning from Egypt just arrive at hillside Sinai at afternoon its day about/around at 5.
Because at [street] there is no restaurant, all hotels in Egypt have specified rule: tourists that conduct journey gulf cross will be supplied box food, and snek. But they do not want to give drinking water that many. If we butuh mineral water addition, we can buy it to driver that quite a lot bring stok in its baggage. Hmm, smart business it's seems.
One point draw on a journey to Sinai is existance [of] a fully armed guard but wear opening coat that continued followed bus journey was from Egypt to Sinai till to last border return next [go] to Egypt. They are comanded by to care of route and tourist security till to its target.
That guard Existence also a kind of pass to pass very tight military custody alongside Trans-Mesir. Why? Precise in the middle of route, we will pass by quickly an area has the character of high security area. ARMY commissioned on-site that, according to penuturan perannunguard that exist in in bus, must wake up 24 hour in a state of show fight. , canal Suez is one of economy strength Egypt and very vital the existance. Mid-east Region that continued turbulent can be just make Suez as [the] soft target terrorists for the purpose of economy sabotage. Bus may not stops and must immediately pass by quickly.
Area Terusan Suez that recognized that, also bisect Egypt region, namely Africa region and Asia. That Canal starts inoperate in 1870 as a result of design [of] a french engineer called Ferdinand de Lesseps, connective mediterranean sea with red sea as long as 163 kilometres.
That canal Existence very useful for economy current and goods from and to area Africa. If first goods is unloaded in mediterranean sea port for then brought by the way of land to red sea area, now goods ships can sail directly [went] to red sea to area Africa pass by canal is referred [as].
When pass canal Suez, we will never witness ships that pass that area because direct bus down through in land/ground pass a tunnel;cutting below/under canal. Over there at one's fingertips band of bus path as long as 1 kilometre with wide around 4 bus bodies, conducive our 'across' Suez [go] toes area Egypt in Asia region.
When reside in in tunnel;cutting, air directly changes drastic. Cold Atmosphere is directly felt. Tunnel;cutting that exist in under Suez [it is true] designed in such a manner so it's strong convulsion, high pressure, and explosion. With jolly good lamp settlement, whoever not feels that virtual bus accelerate under the sea, above its is being navigated ships of giant goods and heavy tanker big.
Vexed see Suez near from, after get out of range of security monitoring, bus driver invites stop over in a location that full of clan tent Beduin. By reason of buy suvenir to local security guard, everybody in bus downwardses and can be exists around 500 metres from 'shoreside' canal Suez. [it is true] a remarkable canal. Medial desert that heat, there is 'sea' that navigated big ships. Unusual View, but reality.
Day already toward the year afternoon when final busits arrive ats hillside Sinai. In the distance guthat nung so beautiful attacked sunlight soflorid re. Big Granite that also rose colored referred [as] likely life and menanforceps for climbed. This the back of beyond. I have time to think will find patch up lodging, facility minim and serbaterbatas.
In the reality my estimate slips. As searea fruit far distant wisata positionits in the middle of desert field, hotels of tourist relocation place exactly very specific and beautiful. There is hotel area that like hotel in city big but I select hotel that built in form of extension building.
Besides tonice sannya, its constructure are designed seperti house the Flinstone in children animated cartoon. Its wall and its roof is closed over with Sinai specific nature stone, until from a distance we merasa resides in ancient nature. Because that area nocturnal cold as a stone, every room inlengkapi with room heater. I set mind on go up mount in the middle of night so it's can to culminate at morning to witness sunrise.

A top with camel
A top with camel
Climb Sinai is not usual climb. Mount this is the mount granite that have some tops. Street [go] toes top is not street that as a rule we meet in mountaineering in Indonesia, direct straight upwards. High Saking and level of, street [go] toes top will never straight but crankle. This make climb is felt old.
At that time about/around at 01.00. Entrance of climb area Sinai care of by tourism police fully armed Egypt. They and we are pleased pass metal detector that attached near custody post at the same time await bag inspection. To economize energy, I select go up camel. Moreover this first experience go ups mount uses camel.
Guide from Suku Beduin that follow guard journey informs that if will by foot, passed by traditional route that ever passed by Nabi Mozes (named Sikket Saydna Mozes or The path of Moses) to come to upwards top Sinai that by islam society Beduin are recognized by the name of Jabal Mozes (Mount Mozes) needed climb equivalent to 3.700 ladder-steps.
Whew, can let-off this knee. I select go up camel [only]. We must take a care with roof Beduin that offer camel. They generally friendly but money eyean. With specific sociability our mid-east will not be able to accept their bargain to go up free camel to culminates, but when alight from camel, yes must mbayar. Their that Moment ready to 'shoot' purse Anda. Get with it conduct agreement from early. The average of expense once go ups for a adult camel is 25 dollar THE UNITED STATESs.
First Experience go ups camel really laughable. Reach likely. I have prepared boy scout string as [the] stirrup place during sit in camel back. Some friends that not bring stirrup from this string finally experience of cramps and muscle stress because blood terkonsentrasi to foot/feet that must hung for two hour without free poison move. More surprise next, each camel halter will to camel saddle that exist in front its, that more adult, that become tour leader camel entourage.
This make me surprise. Because, street merely as wide as two metres,with creavasse at the left side of right, and without lamp penerang. The Beduin suddenly screams, ''Harri...harrriiii'' at the same time pounded its stick was to camel bottom and at once the camel walks. This surprise that. Camel is referred [as] not led by whoever, entered by the Beduin that by foot far in hindmost line. This Camel soybean cake the way by it self [go] toes top. Latter Mahmoud the beduin explains that camels will [it is true] will will climb top Sinai are without having to led next. They had passed by route is referred [as] hundreds of multiply since that camel has been small.
Lucky camel that I tunggangi not finicky. Around 1,5 hour later, I arrive at last stop place camel. Journey [go] toes top still fair to middling far and difficult. A hour next, I reach top that mention with Mount Horeb, place Mozes first ever exists. To mark sanctum is referred [as], over there there is two synagogues: one small mosque and one chapel that built by group Franciscan in 1933.
Yes, really amaze witness sunrise over mountains Sinai at the top Horeb. Sunlight produces siluet from big granite stones that chiseled by nature [of] thousands of year, with reflection combination from every that big rock, and fog that slow lifted upwards, shown a nature highness as the works of creature unchallenged Ilahi by any actor.
