A LOOK BACK AT MY PHOTOS FROM SAINT CATHERINE VILLAGE.....











O.K........
Just so you don't die in the Desert.....
We'll start here......
At this nice little Oasis.....
Far out on the Sinai Peninsula......
Deep in the Desert.....
But still very low in Elevation.....
Let's go to....
.... SAINT CATHERINE VILLAGE....













A very nice looking desert around here.....
BUT......
We are going up....
Way up......
In the High Sinai Desert......
Hope you like rocks.....
Wave goodbye to the nice plants......













In the High Sinai Desert.....
The higher up you go.....
The less likely you are to see plants...
And way up on the path to Mt. Sinai....
There is no plants or critters....
There is exactly one color only....
Looks as hospitable as Mars....













End of the line......
Till I head for the mountain.....
This must be the place.....
Cause I'm on foot now.... 












In case you get lost.....











Welcome to Saint Catherine Village....














I found that in or around Egypt.....
North Africa is more to the point...
You can figure out where you are.....
By where people keep their camel....
You do.....
By the way......
Have to tie up a Camel.....
This is a interesting photo.....
