Mt. Siani

Decided it would be really epic to climb a mountain in the middle of the night and have my mom come with me! I am one hundred percent 💯 glad I did it, Susie, I'm still not sure if she feels the same. It took around 4 hours from midnight to 4 am to hike up to the summit (2,285 m to the top). It was in complete darkness! Mom used her phone flash light to help see where we were going. We had 8 of us in a group as well as a toddler, maybe 2 years old. The father carried him up almost the entire way minus a small portion when they rode a camel. Once at the top we rented a blanket for 100EGP and settled in on the ground wrapped ourselves up and tried to stay warm while laying under the stars waiting for the sun rise.

It was incredible and such a beautiful experience. I'm so proud of my mom for coming on this adventure with me and going all the way up and down all by herself, no taxi( camels) needed.

Currently laying in front of the sea, listening to the waves crash. Bed time soon. It's been a hell of a day!
