Text Appearing Before Image:
rgia, Persia, Armenia, eto. XX. MOUNT SINAI. ASCENT BY DR. ROBINSON, MAKCH 1838. The lower and easier road from Wady-et-Taiyibehto Sinai enters the Feiran from the head of WadyMukatteb, and follows it up Wady-esh-Sheikh almostto the convent. From the point where we nowwere, this road is long and circuitous; while ashorter one strikes directly towards the convent,ascending in part by a narrow and difficult pass.We took the latter; and, crossing Wady-esh-Sheikh,proceeded on a course S.E. by S., up to the broadWady, or rather sloping plain, Es-Seheb, thicklystudded with shrubs, but without trees.

At half-past twelve oclock we began graduallyto ascend towards the foot of the pass before us,called by our Arabs Mukb Hawy, Windy Pass, andby Burckhardt Mukb-er-Rahah, from the tractabove it. We reached the foot at a quarter pastone oclock, and, dismounting, commenced* the slowand toilsome ascent along the narrow defile, aboutS. by E., between blackened shattered cliffs ofgranite, some eight hundred feet high, and notmore than two hundred and fifty yards apart; whi
