Itinerary — Sharm El Sheikh to St Catherine monastery

Pickup & drive into Sinai

You’ll be collected early from your hotel and head inland on a scenic drive. As asphalt gives way to raw desert, the air grows cooler and the landscape more dramatic — a quiet preview of the day to come.

St Catherine Monastery — a living time capsule

Arrive at the foot of Mount Sinai to visit the UNESCO-listed St Catherine’s Monastery. Here you’ll stroll ancient courtyards, see icons and mosaics that predate later church divisions, and view the legendary Burning Bush. A guided tour explains the site’s 1,700-year history and spiritual significance — a peaceful, reverent start to a very active day.

4×4 safari and the Coloured Canyon

Next, climb into a 4×4 for a desert drive to the Coloured Canyon. Expect a geological playground: narrow corridors, soaring sandstone walls and a palette of ochres, rusts and golds. The walk is lively — you’ll climb short rock steps, squeeze through tight passages and angle up small boulders. Take your time; the canyon rewards curiosity with dramatic photo frames at every turn.

Lunch and Dahab — coasttime and crafts

After the canyon, we head to Dahab for a relaxed buffet lunch and free time to stroll the promenade. Dahab’s markets are perfect for souvenirs — Bedouin jewelry, papyrus art and spices — and its relaxed vibe is a lovely counterpoint to the rugged morning.

Return to Sharm

You’ll be driven back to Sharm El Sheikh mid-to-late afternoon, typically arriving with time to unwind before dinner.

Practical tips & packing list

• Wear sturdy closed shoes (good grip required inside canyon).

• Bring a sun hat, sunscreen and layered clothing (desert mornings can be cold; afternoons warm).

• Carry photocopy/photo of passport if needed for monastery checkpoint.

• Pack small cash for tips and market purchases.

• Camera + extra battery or power bank — light changes fast and the canyon photos are worth it.

Accessibility & safety notes

• The canyon involves scrambling and narrow sections — not ideal for those with severe mobility issues.

• St Catherine sits at altitude; those with heart or severe respiratory conditions should consult a doctor.

• Children: families welcome, but supervise youngsters on climbs.

• Operator safety: ensure the tour operator uses licensed 4x4s and experienced guides.

Pricing & booking pointers

• Prices vary widely by season and group size — request a clear quote (per person) including all taxes and entrance fees.

• Ask about cancellation policy, minimum-person requirements, and whether the tour runs on religious holidays (St Catherine may be closed on some dates).

• Private transfers and private-guided options usually cost more but offer flexibility and a faster pace.
