St. Catherine and The Mountain of Moses

Descripción del servicio

Experience the breathtaking sunrise from the summit of Mount Sinai on a hiking excursion from Sharm el Sheikh to one of Egypt’s tallest peaks. You'll ascend the 7,497-foot (2,285-meter) mountain in the early morning darkness, witness the first rays of light casting a glow over the mountaintop chapel and mosque, and then make your way down to the 6th-century Monastery of St. Catherine, a site traditionally believed to be where Moses encountered the Burning Bush. With round-trip transportation from Sharm el Sheikh, this is an excellent opportunity to explore Mount Sinai and St. Catherine, even if you're short on time in Egypt. There is an option to ride a camel for most of the journey (at your own expense). Discover centuries-old Christian art and relics.
