Catherine super super excited I've been working on coming on this trip for probably six or seven years now never worked out for me so finally this time it's going to work out yeah in my favorite picture so we just stopped the side of the road the background is saladin island don't buy the Caliph of the Muslims Saladin he was syrian originally and he's about the 13th century amazing really beautiful islands and one day I'm gonna come back and visit them take a boat over there so we are where are we now asada it is so beautiful here so so beautiful there's nothing just nothing here just desert and Road and Tommy where are you oh there you are wow so beautiful towers area let's see it look at this beauty we're here for sunset in the valley and sanity I'm so thankful that I'm able to be here just we didn't even get to Mount Sinai and I just want to be in this place in Basking the colors and the shadows Wow so we just stopped to take some pictures and now the drivers are telling us that they're having like their fast is gonna be over because it's wrong with that so two minutes two minutes Ramadan Kareem to everybody all Muslims around the world around that area so we just arrived we just arrived at the Bedouin hostel so we're gonna be staying muscle would camp and they're about to serve us some tea check this place out look look how nice it is oh yeah I will I got these low sort of couches on the floor got like a thatched roof and some cool instruments to make noise with the wind that's cool it was a really hot day but it got cooler now and we're just enjoying the night hopefully we'll be able to get some shut-eye as well because we have to start at about 2:00 a.m. we can start the climate about 2:00 a.m. so hopefully we'll get some sleep let's have some tea now and this is your beginning thank you so much for the tea honey try how do you say and which I say quite oh it smells good you put some special herbs in there yeah a little bit delicious delicious tea we just got our rooms let me show you [Applause] quiet little place the linen on the beds says Chanel I'm sure this is Chanel linen looks very authentic yeah anyhow little place no a/c it's kind of hot in here there's a fan and additionally there's a little bathroom with a semi shower show you that sort of a shower little toilet sink so not too bad we're only sleeping here for like about four hours or so so should be fine and yeah then again I've got 1:30 the morning God willing and we're gonna climb up the mountain by camel see you there good evening okay so it's about a quarter to 2:00 in the morning we just got about two or three hours of sleep depending on who you're referring to mosquitos were bothering me for a long time so they don't get much sleep we're now headed out into the car to the mountain see you there [Applause] okay so we just got to like sort of where the trail starts I guess I don't know we're walking on this stone path we have to go through security where they went through her bags very thoroughly and put us through a metal detector as if we're gonna like blow up the mountain or something but again you gotta I guess we should be happy that they're trying their best to make the place secure and now we're walking up this path for where I'm told is gonna be about ten minutes until we get onto our camels and then we can start the ascent okay I am a hundred percent sure that you can't see me it's pitch black but we're walking slowly up the mountain I'm on the camel the scenery here is unreal 100% natural light so all we have is hundreds of stars it's so beautiful lighting up the sky we have a perfect so we say crescent-shaped moon and it's just a beautiful magical scene that unfortunately those of you watching the video will not be able to see for yourselves unless you come here on your own that's just a little update and we will keep you posted okay so where we've just reached the halfway point on the mountain and as you pass they told us that there's this this is the Starbucks of Mount Sinai really cool little coffee shop can you tell them to stop can you tell can you have the camel stuff okay so we are we got off the camel and now we're walking up steps until we get to the top and passing me seem to be monks or something like that or no Suns coming off about a half hour so have to run but we'll try to take some more footage from the summit so we're almost at the summit Sun is definitely rising and scenery is really beautiful Wow it's really breathtaking actually first of all just walking walking up the rafters breathtaking cuz I'm totally out of breath yeah apparently the oxygen here is not so great at the top but do it okay I'm gonna be too relaxed I think I'm gonna do the morning prayers up here Wow check out this view okay so here we are very near to the summit the guard tells me that that is Mount Horeb which I really have no way of knowing exactly what it is but that was that's what they call it that's fine and so amazing to be here the silence is really beautiful it's very peaceful here the sun's coming up as we speak right behind me miss Marilla so do padilha than a color that's dsr the never simple there's the church and here is a mosque and we have arrived at the summit it is so so so so so awesome to be here it's also really it was difficult to get up like a lot a lot a lot a lot of stairs and climbing and it's hot and out of breath of oxygen here is not so good but we made it glad to go summit is another mountain okay so it's about eight o'clock in the morning and we are starting our descent down the mountain once again such beautiful scenery our guard is waiting at the bottom of the stairs with a camel for me and I'm actually looking forward to getting back on the camel I have no interest in what's your name sir come on how did you learn Hebrew and you want to say it you work in this room is right there what did you do what Israel Tel Aviv a lot huh okay so we are here in this little sign our in this little Hut on the mountain and he sells all sorts of nice things and cold drinks Thank You Man Cheers okay Cheers Normie most of the trail looks pretty natural but this part was definitely out of the rock okay so just had a really big letdown basically we got to the bottom of the stairs and there supposed to be a camel waiting for me with the guide with the camel guide Muhammad but he just walked off I guess he got tired of waiting for me so uh we have to walk not fun again I love walking about like today of all days it's 106 degrees outside and I really wish I'd be on the catwalk but solemn the guy who's walking with us over there tells me that perhaps we'll meet the camel on the way and we're able to get a ride down so here's to hoping that that's gonna happen anyway see you later I want my cow okay so we're sort of finally at the bottom I don't know if these are my camels but there's definitely some camels here and in the background you can see save catherine's monastery Oh I need a cold drink so badly hopefully it'll be a freezing cold Pepsi or something anyway just want to update you guys almost back in the car okay finally we got to the bottom I got drinks I am relaxing say hi what's your name ask me Ali and you are user I'm a slow-mo user yeah so we share a name how old are you guys 10 and you you work here now you work hard
