Among its treasures is a library of ancient manuscripts and icons second only to the Vatican's itself, and a 6th century church reputed to lie directly on the side of the Burning Bush.

  • Dahab

    What sprang up during the 1960’s as a hippie hangout along the Red Sea has grown into a thriving beach community that offers easy access to some of the best diving location in the world. Dahab, a coastal village in the middle of the eastern shore of Sinai, is now a booming diving community. It offers a range of accommodations from hostels for budget travelers to luxurious full service resorts. All of this is located right on the water, tucked between the purple mountains of Sinai’s interior and the crystal waters of the Gulf of Aqaba with the shadowy mountains of Saudi Arabia visible across the water in the distance. In the central part of Dahab there is a well-established strip of restaurants and hotels the allow travelers to lounge by the water while enjoying the full restaurant service. Further north the vibe is more relaxed and less developed and a few miles out of town in either direction are resorts offering more exclusive privacy. All of these places organize trips to the many impressive diving and snorkeling locations nearby. Through any of the hotels or countless tourism shops, it is easy to organized diving trips or safari trips into Sinai’s interior. Quad bike excursions, camel rides, and day trips to St. Katherine and Mount Sinai deep in the middle of the peninsula are all popular. About 60 kilometers north of Dahab is the town of Nuweiba, which is even more low-key. Most of the accommodations here consist of simple huts on the beach with a restaurant nearby. They provide the ultimate in relaxation and also the easiest access to excursions to Sinai’s interior. There is also ferry that leaves from Nuweiba twice daily making the trip across to Aqaba in Jordan and back.

Loved St. Catherine's!

Published on Jan, 2025

lifelong dream to visit here, and it did not disappoint. Engy was a fabulous guide and friend. So glad we did this today!!

Amazing trip to St. Catharine Monastery, thanks to a great tour guide and logistics planning.

Published on Apr, 2024

This is the first time I have written a review, but after the amazing day spent with our tour guide, Mahmoud Elbelbisi, I have decided to do so. He is a must have if visiting St. Catharine Monastery and the Colored Canyon , he explained all the details with good storytelling style and is a very knowledgeable guide. We could not have asked for anyone better to make this trip unforgettable. Thank you and for Memphis Tours for doing a great job organizing everything.

Great trip with Engy to the monastery.

Published on Nov, 2023

Had a great day out with our lovely Guide Engy, she was very knowledgable and friendly and took us up to the monastery. Do not be put off by the extra security on the trip, it didn’t interfere or spoil the day, I’m sure it’s just there to cover insurance etc. At know point did we feel uneasy. Thoroughly recommend a tour with her

A dream come true

Published on Sep, 2023

Our tour was perfect. The drive was pleasant throughout the whole tour, and our guide was amazing! Mahmoud knows a lot about History and his explanations were always super complete and interesting. Visiting the Monastery was a dream come true for us, if you visit, don’t miss out the icons gallery, with some of the most important arts in the world. It was an incredible and unforgettable tour, thank you Memphis team!

Amazing day.
