I'm currently planning out a two week Egypt trip for next month and I'd love to hike up Mt. Sinai but it's pretty far from the other places I'll be in so I just wanted to know from people who have been if it's worth it and also safe for tourists. Thanks in advance!
So, long story short, discovered Lake Anubis, had the shock of a life-time, cried a little, took an epic photo, and now I'm wondering whether or not that lake has the same past in the real world, but I can't seem to figure out where they line up, other than that it's close to the Suez Canal because that's where Green (Turquoise in game) island is.
The War in Arab Africa intensified this month after Coalition forces, led by Saudi Arabia, clashed with US forces, Yemeni National Unity government forces and Global Union peacekeepers, further escalating a serious conflict which has been going on for the last two and a half years.

The use of such "troops" from those countries has been met with kneejerk reactions from Israel, which has placed sanctions on four African countries as a result.
The conflict in Arab-Africa has also spilled into the world of sport. The recent World Youth Bodybuilding Championships has been marred by protests and discontent after Gold medallist Alexander Tariq Al-Rafiq was booed when presented with his medal for the 19-21 category amid protests from anti-war protesters who gatescrashed the final minutes of the medal ceremonies.
Meanwhile, the Arabian Space Corporation, the world's largest and only corpo-state (a state owned and run entirely by a single corporation), whose territory borders Saudi Arabia and Yemen in the west and the Gulf of Arabia in the east, has reportedly been massing over 280,000 troops on its western borders in what Chief Defense Officer Imran Alwaleed has referred to as "purely a precautionary measure"
