"Still lie the sheltering snows, undimmed and white;
And reigns the winter's pregnant silence still;
No sign of spring, save that the catkins fill,
And willow stems grow daily red and bright.
These are days when ancients held a rite
Of expiation for the old year's ill,
And prayer to purify the new year's will."

Very close Lynne That what I thought too
Everything was great except, unfortunately, I didn't meet any snow there, but it was freezing out there. I think this is the lowest temperature degree I've ever meet . It was 4C at the foot of the mountain. They said you can meet the snow here next month
- Those mountains belong to Egypt. To be more precise, they are located in the Sinai Peninsula.
- In the 2nd clue we can see the Saint Catherine Monastery
- At the beginning I thought you hiked Jabal Zubayr Mountain, which is the 2nd highest in Egypt and is next to Mount Catherine. But as you've already said that it is not, I'll go for Mount Catherine.
