"Did you tell your mom you went to Sinaï!?"

Did you tell your mom you went to Sinaï? I heard the people around me asking. After 2011 people are not tempted to visit the area. I wonder what this taboo is. On a stormy moment in the Sinaï desert at the red sea. I bumped into something in the sand. I started digging and a whole turtle shell appeared. proportioned in 13 big segments and 28 small segments. How to unravel the salty stories of this creature.

Turtle shell, found on the beach of the red sea October 2019
