Climbing Mount Sinai | Egypt video tour
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 лис 2021
- With David Hyman, professional tour guide. Jabbal Musa ( The Mountain of Moses) is located in the southern part of the Sinai peninsula, and is one of the summits of the granite rock masiffe called " The high mountain region". At the foot of the mountain early Christians have pointed out the site of the burning bush and the monastery of Saint Cathrine was built on this site. Two paths lead from the monastery up to the summit of Mount Sinai. Our video is about our climb to the top using the more moderate "Camel Trail". The other path is made of 3500 stone steps that were built by the monks from the monastery over the years. The steps are called the steps of repentance. at the time of our visit, we were told that this path is closed and therefore we returned by the way we climbed. The climb can be done on camelback but we decided to test our lungs and we climbed all the way up. Many coffee shops allow nice rest stops on the way up, and we stopped at them all for coffee and a chat with the bedouin owners. about halfway up we reached "Elijah's basin"' which is a small valley tucked within the mountains. This is where the monks located the cave of Elijah on Mount Horeb, as Mentioned in the Book of Kings. The final part of the hike is the 750 steps leading from Elijah's basin to the summit. We reached the top and were rewarded with the most amazing views of the desert all around is just the vast mountains of Sinai. On the summit are the ruins of the 6th-century basilica build in by emperor Justinian. The basilica was destroyed by earthquakes and from the old rocks, the modern chapel was built. Next to the chapel, where the bell is the locked door leads to the "Rock Cleft" where Moss stood when God passed by him in his Glory ( Exodus 22, 23). The Mosque was added in the 17th century as Moses is an important prophet in Islam. Under the mosque is a small cave that is the place Moses fasted for 40 days and nights while he was waiting to receive the Law ( The Torah).
The walk down takes about an hour and a half, depending on your pace. We walked slowly, enjoying the moment, contemplating the significance and talking about an important topic: The Law as the source of Authority, can it stand on it own or must it be granted by a supreme power such as God himself.
Many thanks to all the people who made our Journey to Mount Sinai so wonderful:
The Republic of Egypt for allowing Israelis to enter via Taba pass for 14 days without a Visa
Out Driver Muhammad for all his great insights and generosity
Out guide Mohamed for leading up as and down the mountain safely and for explaining the meanings of the sites and the places
Out hosts at Sheikh Musa Bedouin camp in the Village of Saint Catherine
All the wonderful Bedouin men from the Jebaliya tribe, My deepest respect to you all for preserving your ancient ways and traditions throughout so many centuries in this harsh land
And finally to my heart and soul, Shiri. You are the reason I do all these crazy things. Without you - I am nothing.

Thanks so much, very much appreciated 🙏
Thank you for your wonderful video. Planning a trip to Egypt in 2023. Yes! the Sinai peninsula is included. Very happy to see the storekeepers speak English. A big plus thou I'll learn some simple Arabic.
Hi Jose, English is spoken by many of the local , its always nice to be able to say a few words in Arabic. Enjoy your visit.
Thank you so much for sharing
Another prospect place to see one day
Thanks for watching and for your support.
Thanks for video
As a Muslim, I found immense tranquility and solace in that place.
In the Quran, it's depicted as the singular spot on Earth where Allah's presence is revealed.
The mountain trembles in awe,
And the sight of His majesty causes it to crumble.
Thanks for watching and for your insights. Extremely appreciated. Take care .
Thank you! We are doing this and I'm a bit nervous! Not because of the climb. We have climbed other mountains around the world. Just a little concerned about safety! Your video was great and it put me at ease. Your journey and documentray was excellent! Now I'm excited! We're going to Mount Sinai in a few months!
Hi Rosario, I am curios how was your visit to Mount Sinai ? Im glad that our video was helpful in preparing for your tour.
I really enjoyed that too! 😉 Thank You
Thanks Samuel, you can run up if you like 👍
@@IsraelwithDavidHyman 🤔🤔 hmm...good idea!
Thank you. I am doing a sermon on Moses from the book of Exodus. Your video was very helpful to me, it gave me some amazing insights into the area.
Glad it was helpful!
Wow man looks amazing, took a short clip for a video. Thank you man.
People need to stop complaining. You know what, the monastery and burning bush is enough and this is a great climb. I was in my absolute prime, in the military, and old women were passing me by. Stay blessed and open your eyes.
Thank for watching and for your very kind words and support. take care.
Wonderful
Thank you
Thanks for watching and take care 🙂
@@IsraelwithDavidHyman
You, too, David.
I'm happy that, so far, I've not seen you have to contend with scorpions, snakes or spiders.
My compliments to the inhabitants and tourists. I've never seen any litter on the streets of the cities or the ancient sites. Whereas, Cairo and Rome are filthy.
There is one exception. The site is a dug out meeting place with stairs used as seats and a baptismal. The lady said this is where James, the brother of Jesus, met with believers.
Unfortunately, tourists throw their food trash in it. No trash receptacles available?
I'm Muslim and I really felt so peaceful and comfortable around there
In Quran this's the only place on earth that God Allah shows on
And the mountain quakes
And collapsed of seeing his holiness
Thanks so much for watching and for your kind words. very much appreciated
Simply beautiful!
Thanks for watching and for your comments.
This was so helpful for me to realistically make decision about whrther to climb up at night. I now think I will only go in the daylight. thank you so much
Hi Maureen, thanks for watching and for your comments. I hope all went well with your visit.
Thank you God bless you
Thanks for watching
Thank you so much for sharing...as Egyptian..I feel at peace to see you coming to this Holly mountain.
Hope you had a safe trip back home. I hope one day soon a Synagogue would be built beside the church and the mosque at the top to symbolize the faith that bring us together ❤️.
Hi Sami from Egypt 🇪🇬. I'm so happy to receive your comment. I have visited Egypt a few times and can't wait to return again. Thank you for watching and for your kind comments, very much appreciated. Take care.
The Sinai Peninsula has been apart of Egypt, since before Moses and when Moses led his people, God tild him to get out of Egypt and go into Median, which is located in Saudi Arabia.
Thanks for watching.
Thanks. Very nice
That was awesome! Thank you both for the Blessing. Almost Home! Netchatef 👋🏼😁☝🏼⏰✈️👑👰🏻❤️🕊️

Sir I'm watching from Philippines, nice vedeo.

Thanks so much
We climbed the stiff way up to the top. That was one of the best days of my life.
Thanks for watching and for your comments. Very much appreciated.
Wow!! Thank you for the Biblical touch in the video! It deepens my perspective and changes the way I perceive the Bible stories when I read them afresh. Elizna
Hi Elizna, thanks so much . Hope all is well. Happy New Year.

@@IsraelwithDavidHyman thank you for posting. It's incredibly important that people have a relationship with God. He is all about faithfulness, love, and being kind to your neighbor. 🙏✌️
Thank u it is nice
Thanks for watching
I am glad you climbed this and not me. When we visited Saint Catherine, we did not do this climb. You kept saying you "enjoyed" the hike but for some reason I do not believe this 4.85 km climb was very fun.
Hi Daniel, thanks for watching. Take care 🙂
Well Done,..Thanks,.. :)
Thanks for watching.
I did this climb recently 💙✝️🕊🙏 god bless you
Thanks for watching and for your support. Mush appreciated .
sorry folks...not the real Mt.Sanai - go to Saudi Arabian - that is where the real Mountain of God is.
Thanks for watching. each person is free to believe what ever he wants.
Let my people go.
No, it was in Egypt. This is the real Mt.Sanai
the real mt sinai in saudi, my friend saw the place in person just saying✌️ua-cam.com/video/LZDfGiXJjjI/v-deo.htmlsi=4juhcjiT3OwyOHNg
Haha Mt Sinai is in Egypt. Haters gonna hate this 😂
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I will be traveling there soon. How much is the cost of the camels at Mt. Sinai?
Hi Laura, thanks for watching . I am sure that you will enjoy your visit . We didn't ride the camels so I don't remember the price.
I love your videos by the way on the Israel tours at the bus station can you touch the rock face will they allow you to do that
Thanks for watching. I'm not sure I understand the question
How long does it take climbing up? Does one have to be perfectly physical fit to manage the hike? I'll be visiting in Oct and hope to train up myself in 2 months for this 🙏
Hi, the hardest part are the final 700 steps. it took us about 3 hours to reach the top, but we did stop many times at all the cafes on the way up. YES, YOU NEED TO BE FIT AND COME PREPARED.
Great video! May i ask what month did you hike? We are planning on going this june but I’m worried it will be too hot.
Hi Eula, we were there during the month of November 2022 and the weather was perfect. I think June is excellent, but very warm in mid day. We are also planing to be there this June , maybe we will run in to each other? That would be fun.
Watching the sun set and the sun rise must be gorgeous. Next time take the 3000 step route instead of the camel trail.
Hi Taoma, our guide said that the trail with the steps was closed, we had no choice but to return the way we climbed, maybe next time.
@@IsraelwithDavidHyman I hope next time comes sooner than later.
Dear Sir wow yes I thoroughly enjoyed this & thank you (liked & subscribed)! Man, -To imagine Moses going "way up there" and meeting / dwelling with God Himself(!); Really mind blowing for "What did God look like?!-" and then the _Cleft occurrence...
Your video gives me chills let alone if I was to ever go here myself; Thank you 1000x over for this; God bless You & the Mrs for [y'all-]‼
Thanks for watching
Shalom
EGYPT 🇪🇬 😍😍😍😍
Hi I am definitely planning on taking a trip to visit Mount Sinai, I would like the best information to prepare for my trip?
Hi Billy, post all your questions here, and I will try to answer them. This way all of my subscribers can use the information. Thanks and take care.
Thank you. You did use the camels for part of your journey, do you remember the price to do so?
Hi. We walked up and down, but we met many people riding the camels. I don't recall the price, but as many other things in Egypt- it is negotiable...
Am not sure if this is the true Mount Sinai? But a great video and look forward to see the St Catherine video.
I know a little about the place.
Thanks for watching, hope to release the one on Saint Catherine next weekend
the true Mount Sinai? All you have to do is look up “Mount Sinai in map” and it will show you the true Mount Sinai! It is this place, thank you very much! Not only Jews follow these important places but Christians and Arabs too and we know this place shown in this video is the true Mount Sinai.
Lively video! Do you think it is better to climb during the day or during the night? 😊
Hi Sandra. This depends on the season. if you are climbing in the summer, then it is too hot to climb during the day, so the night is better.
I want to climb it too😍
Thanks for watching. Don't give up on your dream.
@@IsraelwithDavidHyman 😍👍
how long,up,the camels goes?I mean if one can't hike such long but want to..."recommend something to me!"
Hi, The camels can take you about 2/3 up the mountain, the final climb consist of 750 steps to the summit. Good luck.
This is not the real mount Sinai site. Actual site is in Midian in Saudi Arabia. People has been fooled by centuries by wrong site considering as Mount Sinai.
Proof?
@@taomahNEGEV all the identities mentioned in Old Testament (Deuteronomy and New Testament, Exodus.Chapter are only found in north west Saudi Arabia. The research done by Won Ryott and many bedouins who lives here for centuries knows this as Mount Sinai.
As I am new here, just wondering where is the location of the burning bushes?
Check my video tour of Saint Catherine's Monastery, they have a Chappell dedicated to the site of the burning bush. Thanks for watching
Thank you sir ☺️
the evidences are so overwhelming that Sinai is in Arabia.
you can check videos of ron wyatt about this
Mount Sinai, as per the Bible scriptures, did Moses crossed the red sea before going up the Mount Sinai? Or after crossing the Red sea?.
I suggest that you read Exodus and find out. It is worth the read.
Is it dangerous to climb Jabal al Lawz?
I think you always need a guide to hike these Mountains. Take care
Great video. I always wondered about Mount Sinai. Are there any synagogues or Jewish presence?
No synagogues, but a very strong Jewish presence: most of the hikers are Israelis..
Elijah encounter was mount Horeb.and not mount Sinai. 1 Kings 19 verse 8.
Mount Sinai is Moses encounters.
Thanks for the video.
how u get transport to Mt Sinai?
Best way is to contact Sheikh Musa and he will send a taxi to pick you up at the border.
David, I am having a problem, maybe you can help. Moses was sent into the desert and arrived at the base of mt. Sini. In exodus when he took gods people out of bondage he crossed the red sea. Just asking for clarity, Mt. Sini cannot be in Egypt but the bigger question is since moses arrived at Mt.Sini before the exodus when he spoke with the I Am he never crossed the sea. I am confused. I think Mt. Sini is actually in Saudia Arabia. According to biblical accounts. Can anyone help with this? I am still trying to learn.
Hi Christopher, thanks for watching and for your insights. If you find answers to your questions, please share them with us all. Thanks, take care.
praise the lord .
How was the temperature?
November was perfect weather, bot for swimming and for Hiking. But note the the days are short. Becomes dark at 5pm.
Man I thought this is real Mount Sinai after watching Saudi Arabia I believe this is not the real place
Thank you, a very informative and visual experience of such a historical place. Two things (1) How long up and how long down (2) why would there be a mosque ? Is the mosque there because the muslim faith had not diverged at that point, and so was a holy place?
Hi. We walked in avery slow pace and made many stops. It took us three hours up and 1.5 hours down. The mountain is also holy for Islam, and therefore the Mosque.
@@IsraelwithDavidHyman So it's holy for Islam as it's very Old Testament? Pre-Abrahamic?
I heard there was another possible location for Mt. Sinai in Saudis Arabia
Thanks for watching and for your comments, take care.
The Bible says Mt. Sinai is in Arabia. Not Egypt. Which was located the land of Midian in northwest Saudi Arabia
Why did you enter the mosque but not the church at the top of the Mount Sinai? 🤔
The church was locked. Thanks for watching.
@@IsraelwithDavidHyman I heard that Judaism forbids entering churches. Is that true?
(04 October 2023, Wdnesday, 02:00 p.m. EST)
Unknown to the thousands who climb Mt. Sinai (Gebel Musa) in the dead of night to witness the sunrise, is that the ancient Egyptian myths understood that the golden orb of the sun, at Sunrise, was envisioned as being the birth of the Golden Calf.
Tomb art shows a small solar bark with an Egyptian standing at its tiller as a helmsman, seated before him is Horus, in human form with a hawk's head, standing on four legs, before Horus, is a hornless bull-calf. Hovering over the bull-calf's back is the sacred Polar Star.
Old Kingdom Pyramid Texts have Pharaoh Pepi, Dynasty 6, pleading, circa 2300 BC:
"O Horus, do not leave me boatless for I am a Golden Calf born of Heaven."
The rising sun was also envisioned to a resurrected dead Pharaoh in the form of a Golden Calf.
Pharaoh was also addressed in titles as "the strong bull," who overcomes Egypt's enemies.
At times Pharaoh has a bull's tail affixed to his lower back in a ritualized race.
Pharaoh Pepi says he is a Golden Calf born of heaven, that is to say heaven is conceived as being a female cow, at night this heavenly-sky-cow has stars on her body, in art work. Other times she has a golden colored body, her epithet being nub, meaning "the golden one."
She is the bovine goddess called Hat-Hor or Hathor, patroness of miners working copper mines in the south Sinai.
Annually, her devotees honor her with drunken, naked, loud, noisey song and dance, to thereby emulate her.
In drinking to excaess, wine and beer, to become drunk, her devotees, in effect become a drunk Hat-Hor, thus partaking of her spirit, rather like Christians partaking of Christ's body or Eucharist: the bread and wine being metaphysical substitutes for Jesus' flesh and blood. All this taking place in the southern Sinai at Gebel Serabit el Khadim, just a few miles north of Gebel Musa and Santa Catherina Greek Orthodox Monastery.
For more info google Mattfled Mt. Sinai, Golden Calf.
i did this when i was 12
This is NOT mt sinai. Mt sinai is in saundi arabia
whatever you think is OK
Welcome to Egypt, my neighbor🇪🇬🤍🇮🇱
Hi Mohamed my neighbour. We Extremely enjoyed our visit to Egypt . Thanks for watching and take care .
Sinai is in Arabia..Good luck..
Well, if you say so... when you visit Arabia, you might find Sinai, let me know if you did. Good Luck and thanks for watching. take care.
I appreciate this video for actually being centerd around the traditional Mt Sinai. A lot of content is about new theories/ conspiracy theories about the Mountain being in Saudi-Arabia. This Mountain is the one who has all the tradition. It has the monastry, all the christian pilgrimage stories etc.
This Mountain is a important piece of christian history and despite any theories deserves respect on it's own. I hope one day I can go there during a fun trip to sharm-el-sheikh.
6:24 I've to say parts of the way up look artificial and cut though the rock, this cant be the original path for sure. I wish they would've left it more natural.
Hi, I appreciate your insights. thanks for watching and i am glad that the video was helpfull. Take care
Sinai is here sometimes shriazi s telephone
Is the Sinai peninsula a good place for a Palestinian country? Would that resolve the conflict...
Thanks for watching and for you insights.
What do they feed the camels, there is no vegetation there.
They bring food from the feed stores.
This is definitely not the true Mt Sinai. the Bible says its in Arabia, in the locality where Midian was. Moses fled from Egypt to Midian. It was there he had the burning bush encounter in mt Horeb. The Lord told him it would be a sign to him that he would worship God in that same mountain which was located in Midian. Interestingly, God introduced the Commandments with the phrase, "I am the Lord who has brought you out of Egypt." How then could they have been in Egypt still, since this site is in Egyptian territory. The red sea crossing was their exit from Egypt into Arabia where Paul states that Horeb was. The true site is most likely Jabel Al Lawz in Arabia.
Thanks for watching and for your insights.

If its in Egypt its not Mnt Sinai. Its in Saudi Arabia. The top should be burnt black. Its not a tourist trap either. Get your facts straight.
