Bedouin Cuisine:
The first really good meal we had in the middle east we ate at the foot of Mt. Sinai at a small resort called St. Katherines, named after the nearby monastery. There were some actual bedouins camped nearby, and we went to eat hummus and lamb and freshly cooked flat bread (which was *amazing*.) A couple of us got bedbugs sitting on the pillows in the tent, but I escaped luckily. We retired to bed, to sleep for only 2 hours for one of the highlights of the trip: The midnight climb up Mt. Sinai to watch the sunrise!
