Sinai, where Moses and his people traveled through en route to the promised land. This was an incredibly moving experience for me, but mostly in the form of stomach problems. I was told I had dysentery, but I disagree. The symptoms would have been much worse.
Apart from that, I can't praise my time in Dahab and at St. Catherine's monestary enough. Dahab is an icredible place to chill-out with scuba diving, snorkelling, and beach side cafes and Mt. Sinai is overflowing with historical and spiritual allusions. Sitting on top of Sinai at sunrise was something I will never forget.
I spent most of my time with some Japanese friends I made on the bus from Cairo. I spoke mostly Japanese for a week, something I haven't done since leaving Japan, making my experience somewhat surreal but very fun. Japanese people tend to have 'light blood,' as they say in Egypt.
