Highlights

St Catherine’s Monastery – A Living Piece of History
Your adventure begins with a scenic drive across the Sinai Desert, where golden mountains rise from the silence. Nestled between two peaks, you’ll find St Catherine’s Monastery, a UNESCO World Heritage Site built in the 6th century by Emperor Justinian.
Inside, you’ll see the Chapel of the Burning Bush, where legend says God spoke to Moses, and the priceless Mosaic of the Transfiguration. Every corridor whispers centuries of devotion, guarded by monks who have lived here in continuous prayer for nearly 1,500 years.
Mount Sinai – The Mountain of Revelation
If you choose, continue onward to climb Mount Sinai, the mountain of Moses. The ascent takes roughly three hours, following the ancient trail used by pilgrims for centuries. At the summit stands a small chapel and a modest mosque — symbols of peace between faiths.
As dawn breaks or sunset fades, you’ll gaze out over an ocean of stone peaks bathed in gold light — a sight that humbles every traveler.
Dahab – The Laid-Back Seaside Stop
On your return, stop in Dahab, a relaxed town by the Red Sea known for its coastal charm and craft shops. Enjoy lunch, sip Egyptian tea, and perhaps browse for a handmade keepsake before heading back to Sharm El Sheikh.
