From Shark's Bay we hired a taxi for approximately $50 US to take us through the Sinai Desert north to the village of Al-Milga. The sole claim to fame of Al-Milga is that it is 2-3km from the base of Mt. Sinai. After approximately 4 hours in the taxi (during which time we realized much to our chagrin that we did not know the Arabic equivalent of "urinate" --- which made getting our cabbie to pull over quite a game in explicit charades!). Once there we booked a room at the Daniella Village, and after enjoying a wonderful lunch, began the long afternoon hike towards the summit. Along the way, we saw many signs of pilgrims, though much in the way of civilization, as the Power Rangers Bus below epitomizes. You canNOT get away from it.
