Our Journey to Sinai: A Visit to the Convent of St. Catarina is a travelogue written by Agnes Dorothee Von Blomberg Bensly, originally published in 1896. The book recounts the author's journey to the Sinai Peninsula, where she visited the historic Convent of St. Catarina. Throughout the book, Bensly describes the landscape of the Sinai Peninsula, the customs and traditions of the Bedouin people, and the history of the Convent of St. Catarina. She also provides insight into the daily life of the nuns who live within the convent walls, including their routines, religious practices, and interactions with the surrounding community.Bensly's writing is rich with detail and imagery, and she offers a unique perspective on a relatively unknown corner of the world. Her descriptions of the rugged terrain and ancient ruins of the Sinai Peninsula, as well as her encounters with the hospitable Bedouin people, make for a fascinating and engaging read.Overall, Our Journey to Sinai is a captivating travelogue that offers a glimpse into a remote and historically significant region of the world, as well as the lives of the women who have dedicated themselves to a life of contemplation within the walls of the Convent of St. Catarina.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
