I first journeyed to the Sinai and climbed Jebel Mousa, the traditional site for Mount Sinai, with my wife and our four lads when they were quite small. The comradeship with those who climbed, and the spectacular sunrise and views did not disappoint us.

Yet in my heart I experienced a sadness that tourists with us may not have heard or understood the Covenant that was given by God from Mount Sinai to teach the nations how to live in harmony with his loving purposes and Spirit, free from corruption, tyranny and oppression.

So as you read about the Bedouin, the natural environment, places to stay, recreation activities and other practical things, you will come across articles on Sinai spirituality, social justice, the purpose of life, and principles for healthy relationships.
