Geocache Description:

The temple of Hathor at Serabit el-Khadim stands on a massive rocky outcrop at an altitude of 850m above sea level in the highlands of Sinai, roughly 50km from the coastal town of Abu Zenima.

It is not the easiest place for tourists to reach and perhaps should be considered more of a trekking expedition than just a monument visit. We set off to climb straight up the eastern side of the mountain with a guide, a steep route which takes about an hour.

If you want to visit this place, guide (Mr. Rabia – 002 0105312380, www.1worldtours.com) and 4x4 are more than necessary.

The cache:
Is placed on the eastern side of the mountain about 350 m from temple.
It is a round metal box, originally from cookies.
Original content:
Log book and pencils, plastic toy – camel, leaflet about Czech mountains, sun glasses, 2 pencils Czech Republic, matches, knife, plastic toy – dragon, CD rom about Czech Republic, Sticker Czech Republic, Coins - 0,50 ; 1 and 2 Czech Crowns, coins from our trip to Baltic states - 0,50 Estonien Crown, 20 Latvian Santimu and 1 Russian Rouble.
