We jumped into a taxi and drove to Mt. Sinai at midnight. Trekked through the mountains, battled endless amounts of tourists with their flash lights, and dodged as many camel droppings as you can in the dark. I bet Moses didn't have to deal with the later two. Either way, I'd have to say it was one of the most beautiful sights I've seen. We even claimed a nice spot on a cliff with a lower tier of rocks that I climbed down to and laid down. The sky was clear, you could see the milky way. Slowly the stars faded away, the silhouette of the mountains became defined, and then that giant ball of energy showed it's face over the clouds.

I ended up taking a picture every 5 minutes for one hour in the same location. Check out my photos later when I sort my pictures after my travels.
