Itinerary

Morning: Into the Heart of Sinai

  • Hotel Pickup:
  • Depart from your Sharm El Sheikh hotel in a private, air-conditioned van, venturing deep into the Sinai Desert. As the Red Sea fades behind you, watch the mountains rise like sentinels against the sky.
  •  St. Catherine’s Monastery:
  • The Burning Bush: Stand before the living descendant of the biblical bush that “burned but was not consumed.”
  •  Byzantine Treasures:
  • Admire the Church of the Transfiguration, its walls glowing with 6th-century gold mosaics, and the Sacred Library housing ancient texts.
  • Moses’ Well: Sip water from the spring that sustained the monastery for over 1,700 years.

Midday: Mountains and Miracles

  • Mount Sinai Climb:
    • Ascend the storied slopes where Moses is said to have received the Ten Commandments. Choose between the Camel Path (gentler) or the Steps of Repentance (a steeper, meditative route).
    • Summit Vistas:
    •  At the peak, absorb panoramic views of the surrounding valleys—a silent testament to nature’s grandeur.
  • Bedouin Lunch:
  •  Refuel with a traditional meal in a cozy tent or shaded garden, savoring dishes like grilled kofta, mezze, and Sinai’s famed herbal teas.

Afternoon: Oases and Homeward Bound

  • Moses Springs (Ain Musa):
  •  Stroll through a hidden palm grove fed by crystal-clear springs, where Moses struck water from stone.
  • Return to Sharm El Sheikh:
  •  Wind through desert canyons as the sun dips low, pausing to capture the ever-changing colors of the mountains. Your guide will share final tales of Sinai’s Bedouin tribes before delivering you to your hotel, filled with memories of this sacred land.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Sacred Sinai tour include?

St Catherine’s Monastery at the foot of Mount Sinai, one of the oldest working Christian monasteries in the world, together with the surrounding mountain landscape.

Do we climb Mount Sinai?

Tell us at booking. The summit climb is a separate night ascent for sunrise and is physically demanding. The standard day tour visits the monastery rather than the summit.

What should I know before visiting St Catherine's Monastery?

Modest dress is required, opening hours are limited and the monastery closes to visitors on Sundays and certain feast days, so the schedule is set around them.
