Na 2 weken "langs de Nijl" ben ik de derde week op eigen houtje via het St. Catharinaklooster in het hartje van de Sinaïwoestijn naar Dahab aan de Rode zee gegaan. Tot aan het klooster kon dat per bus. Daarna werd het problematisch. Hoewel ik overal bussen zag rijden leek er niet één richting Rode Zee te gaan. Ik kon er wel met een taxi naar toe. Als alleengaande Westerse reiziger ben je een gemakkelijk prooi. Heb een prijs afgesproken voor de rit. Halverwege moest hij hier stoppen omdat daar "familie" in een tent woonde. Ik werd hartelijk ontvangen, kreeg thee en schouderklopjes en de reis ging verder. Onderweg regelmatig verhalen over zieke familieleden die wel wat extra geld konden gebruiken. Als je zelf in zo'n situatie hebt gezeten herken je deze vorm van bedelen. Ben er niet op ingegaan. Dahab was in de zestiger jaren een bekend hippie-oord. Die sfeer was er nog duidelijk zichtbaar hoewel de hippies zelf vertrokken waren.

A dusting of desert snow covers the cold desolate top of Mt Sinai as one looks across the red-granite mountain peaks on the Sinai Peninsula. Also known by the names Mount Horeb and Gabal Musa (the 'Mountain of Moses'), the mountain is considered to be a the likely location of the biblical Mount Sinai. Mount Sinai is mentioned many times both the Bible, and the Quran, particularly in the book of Exodus. According to Jewish, Christian, and Islamic tradition, the biblical Mount Sinai was the place where Moses received the Ten Commandments. Mt Sinai sits at 2,285 m (7,497 ft) in the St Katherine region of the Sinai Peninsula, Egypt. Shot taken on film.

Sinaia es una ciudad de 15.000 habitantes, pero recibe muchos visitantes, tanto nacionales como extranjeros, ya que es la sede de dos monumentos de grandísima importancia: El Monasterio de Sinaia (que da nombre a la ciudad y que etimológicamente viene del Monte Sinaí), y el castillo de Peles.

"Acampó en la montaña llamada Sinai, dirigiendo a las multitudes para alimentarlas allá. Está en la más alta de las montañas del lugar, y la de mejor pasto, pues la hierba es buena; y no había sido comida antes, a causa de la opinión que tenían los hombres de que Dios moraba allí, y los pastores no osaban subir hasta el lugar."
Flavio Josefo.
Mount Sinai (Arabic: طور سيناء Ṭūr Sīnāʼ or جبل موسى Jabal Mūsá ; Egyptian Arabic: Jabal Mūsá, lit. "Moses' Mountain" or "Mount Moses"; Hebrew: הר סיני Har Sinai), also known as Mount Horeb, is a mountain in the Sinai Peninsula of Egypt that is a possible location of the biblical Mount Sinai. The latter is mentioned many times in the Book of Exodus in the Torah, the Bible, and the Quran. According to Jewish, Christian and Islamic tradition, the biblical Mount Sinai was the place where Moses received the Ten Commandments.

"O tempo é muito lento para os que esperam.
Muito rápido para os que tem medo.
Muito longo para os que lamentam
Muito curto para os que festejam
Mas, para os que amam, o tempo é eterno."
