The Monastery of St Catherine is a 6th century monastery situated in the middle of the Sinai Peninsula, under the cliffs of Mount Sinai and Mount Catherine. These granite cliffs rise to about 2500 meters above the sea level and create one of the most dramatic landscapes and observation points in the world.
After the hotel pickup at 06:00, we cross the Egyptian border and meet our guide. We drive two hours through the spectacular desert. While we drive, you can enjoy your breakfast. Upon arrival, we enter the monastery with our guide, who explains all historical and important details on the two churches from the 4th and 6th centuries, the well of Moses, the burning bush and the Chamber of Skulls.
After the guided tour, lunch is served in a quality restaurant (included in tour price). Before heading back, we tour colorful local bazaar before returning to the Taba border at about 18:00.
