As first time visitors to the Sinai, nothing could prepare us for the varying sites we would encounter. Our first trip through the desert was in the morning to go visit the monastery of Saint Catherine's. We jumped into a small van with a French speaking guide, a driver, and two other visitors. As we drove further and further into the desert, we were all so surprised at how colourful the granite and limestone rocks and mountains were, the scattered Bedouins who were making their way from one place to another, the camels that seemed to roam free, and yes, military checkpoints set up from commune to commune.
Sand and stone predominate everything in the Sinai desert. At every bend there seemed to be new types of rocks, weather carved sand dunes right next to the strongest of mountains, a dried-up river bed, or a single acacia tree posing in front of a clear blue sky.
