St Catherine's Monastery in the Sinai is the traditional site for the burning bush as well as the place where God gave Moses the 10 commandments.
This morning we were awoken at 12:45 for a walk up Mt. Sinai for a chance to see the sunrise at the top. We rode camels under the night sky which was filled with stars (think Van Gogh's Starry Night).
About 2/3 of the way up we got off the camel and walked the rest of the way-750 steps - to the top for an awesome view of the sun as it rose in the sky. It was an amazing experience!
