The Book Of ChaCha

📌Sharm El Sheikh Content incoming ☄️💫😍🌠🌄 ⛰️ 📍 Climb Moses Mountain with me and 😃 .

Somehow I managed to convince Dan to climb the second tallest mountain in Egypt over night with me , with just a Bedouin guide in the middle of Sinai Desert 🏜️ with nothing but a backpack 🎒 and some English courage 😂

This is Moses Mountain - otherwise known as Mount Sinai - & supposedly - accounting to 3 religions - it is where Moses spoke to God under the burning tree.
🌳
The climb is around 9hrs long and you leave around 2am to arrive at the peak by sunrise; and let me tell you that moment is tranquil and breath taking 🌄.

Not only is it icey cold up there, everyone is still and silent, and the views are spectacular💙 . You can see over all the other mountains in hues of orange , red and blues of the remaining night sky.

Not forgetting to mention the stars on the way up the mountain were probably some of the best I’ve ever seen in my life. You can even see on the first couple of clips just how bright they were. ✨

I was hoping for a moment of spiritual transcendence as I climbed the mountain. I opened my heart to the possibility of a deeper message knowing its spiritual significance. But alas the mountain was silent. So nothing to add here on that note😁🫶🏼

I brought back down with me a crystal rock I’d purchased from a local near the summit that now sits on my bedroom shelf - kind of crazy it came from up a mountain. I guess just getting to achieve having climbed a mountain this tall and with a friend and in the middle of the night is pretty epic. And I think the guide and transfer only cost us like £20 in total.

Would highly recommend 🌟- but not for the faint of heart ❤️❤️❤️

With love , C . Miss you Sharm 🩷🩷 🇪🇬

🏛️ Did you know that Tunisia have their own Colosseum? 😲😵‍💫

Yes, me too, I thought Rome had the only one, well apparently the Romans quite liked Tunisia for its fertile soil & created quite a few monumental buildings, large and impressive in the standard Roman fashion. - (now archeological / UNESCO world heritage sites ! )

Of course the El Jem is not quite as big as Rome’s one but it is awe inspiring all the same.

Frankly I had no idea Tunisia had such a deep, eclectic, and colourful history. Over the centuries there were settlers from Spain, (Andalusia to be specific) , The Romans, Ottomans Empire & more. The land is fertile meaning it was perfect for feeding an empire and a lot of farmers lived, worked and harvested the land there. Hence why there’s such physical structures here.

Another aspect of Tunisian history which I was dumbfounded with was the artistic nature of the mosaic buildings there. Created by a prominent artist & his followers, during the same period as the Romans, people would come and sit and watch as he created his next masterpiece - sometimes for months.

So now whenever I see mosaics show up in fashion or interior design I will think of Tunisia. That and ceramics of course🥹 (another post on that later!)

Here are a list of the archeological sites I visited as seen in order in the video. Enjoy ❤️ & when you get a chance , Visit Tunisia 🇹🇳🥹, you won’t regret it !

1) Musee Du Bardo - Tunis - Mosaic History & (heaven)
2) Carthage Palace
3) El Jem - Tunisia’s Colosseum
4) Musee Du Mosaique - more Mosaics
5) Dougga - Roman Temple & Village

Sending you so much love and vibes today ✨
