Bedouin
and Camels - Mount Sinaï
03:55
On Mount Sinaï tourists are taken to
the top of the mountain by camel. Just below
the top they stop and the tourists continue
their way on foot. The bedouin congregate
in a shack to drink tea, have a smoke and
warm up. They leave their camels along the
road. When the sun is out they march down
the mountain carrying the same tourists back
to the starting point. >>> watch |

A Camel trek in Sinai
"Our route up into the mountains was steep but on a substantial path. As we toiled up, we could see one of our two camels below as it followed us. At the high point of the pass we sat for a while beside the remains of an old leopard trap before making a gentle descent into a region where the valley base was lined with walled orchards or bustans. The date was early February and many of the trees were covered in blossom." Trek Diary
