Well i dont know if this is legal or not, i guess ill figure it out if i come home and the thread is deleted lol. My dad has business in Cairo and for while now i have been tagging along with him wherever he goes and i get the royal business class treatment plus i get to go to some pretty cool places. This time he is going to Cairo, so i could not pass it up .
The reason for this though is i know we have world travelers here on this board, and i was wondering if any of you have climbed mt. sinai. I really would like to do it. My dad would have gone with me except his knee is giving him trouble and he hurt his arm, so he is not going to be able to make it. He has somebody who can accompany me, but im just wondering if anyone has any tips whatsoever on the climb. In all the travel books i really have not found much about it, except that its like 7400 ft. tall, and its like 4000 ft. elevation gain. Its also a 4 hr drive through some slightly less cosmopolitan areas as Cairo, so this is still up in the air, but according to frommers or some guidebook it is perfectly doable by westerners. Well, ill take pictures if i go, and ill have a good time even if i dont.
