Sinai darkness was a challenge. - Waking up early for the sunrise at mount Sinai trip was totally worth it. The journey from shark else sheikh began at early morning. And even though it was late, the energy was high. It all was worthwhile, exploring St. Catherine's monastery afterwards was serene way to end trip.
