Egyptians aren't known for being travelers. They're generally 'stay at home' folk. Perhaps something about the waters of the Nile keeps them from wandering into the tough desert regions?

“What does God want me to do with my life?”
“How can I face and overcome difficult situations?”

Bishop Cosman is the presiding bishop of the Coptic Orthodox Church in the diocese of North Sinai, consisting of an area 200km long and 127km deep. This roughly stretches from Port Said to Suez along the west (though these cities do not belong his bishopric).

The sun begins to break
Slowly the dust starts to shuffle
As they wipe sleep from their eyes
The piercing strides coming my way
Up, up, up they climb
