An athletic adventure with David Miln Smith:

Desolate, harsh, craggy, shadeless, thankless - rivers of sand between mountains of bare rock. The Sinai Desert was crossed by Moses, armies, traders, wanderers, and religious zealots. All must have had the strength and stamina to inhabit the uninviting environment. Yet within just a few years a short flight and a series of roads have transformed the extreme outpost and severe journey into an interesting, do-able destination for the adventurous.

Stage One: Our five-day adventure in this region will include diving the Red Sea, mountain biking the Sinai Desert, camping with Bedouins, climbing Mt Sinai at night to experience sunrise at the summit, then descending into the wilderness of Moses' domain.

Stage Three: Cairo, The Museum, The Pyramids at Giza
