awn atop Mount Sinai.

From this 7,497-foot vantage point, even a devout agnostic can appreciate why it’s said that God chose this spot to deliver to Moses the Ten Commandments.

R. Crusoe’s Sinai & Jordan journey offers revelations.

Jump-off point: Sharm el Sheikh in Sinai. Luxuriate at the Four Seasons on the beach there. Snorkel. Lollygag.

Take a sunrise climb up Mount Sinai, step into St. Catherine's Monastery.

Visit Petra, long-lost center of the spice trade. One "discovers" Petra — a city of classic architecture carved from sandstone that glows rose red in the sun — by walking, gingerly, through a dark, narrow slit in the rocks. It takes the breath away.

Amman next. Jordan's bustling capital. But look beneath the 21st-century skin for traces of a Byzantine monastery, a Bronze Age settlement, and a member city-state of the Roman Decopolis.

Ever heard of Jerash? The Pompeii of the Middle East. Emperor Hadrian left a little memento of his visit in A.D. 130 — a triumphal arch rivaling any in Rome. Walk stone-paved streets cut deep with chariot ruts, inspect the public baths, theaters, tantalizing fragments of mosaics. Dine in the fortress of Kan Zamm.
