Health and Safety:
The Controlled Burning of the Bush…
At St Catherine’s monastery, it is said
That the Burning Bush glowed intensely red.
So in case the fire should re-ignite,
An extinguisher was placed strategically onsite,
So the monks may sleep safely abed…
Pete Ray…
It snowed when I visited Mount Sinai from a Red Sea resort in February 2012…
I wasn’t warned about the likely temperature there, so I wore a polo shirt and of course light trousers for visiting a monastery…
Folks who had been collected from other hotels had been told to take something warm…
I threw a snowball…
The hotel staff at Nabq Bay didn’t believe me and I had to show them my images. They had never seen snow before…
The following day, on a similar excursion to Mount Sinai, some Americans were waylaid by Bedouins, before being released unharmed…
