Depending on where one starts the journey across the Sinai, it can take 3.5 hours on a 4x4 before one has to start walking.
Walking, mostly across rocky surfaces, between valleys and climbing over small mounds of treacherous. This journey, for modern day tourists, is usually done at night..the heat in sunlight is unbearable..
But in ages past, people would walk along this path at all times, as a part of their normal life.
Such as a shepherd walking his flock from place to place.
At night, one looks at the sky and it is ablaze with the stars. The Milky Way winding its way across the heavens. Just picture what a person would have felt and seen in those ancient times as he/she walked on this path at night.
For one thing, The North Star would have been Vega; and not our pole star!
