  • St. Catherine's Monastery

    After the sunrise, we will climb downhill and visit the monastery of St. Catherine. Around noon we will be back in Sharm el-sheik. Visit the Monastery of Saint Catherine which is considered one of the most famous monasteries in the world and also it’s one of the oldest monasteries of Christianity. It’s located in heart of the Sinai Peninsula at a height of 1570 meters in the place where according to tradition Moses saw the bush on fire which didn’t burn up. The Monastery is Orthodox and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The monastery dates back to the age of the emperor Justinian 6th century. It was the same time of building enclosure wall surrounding the monastery right now but the monastery was named Saint Catherine at the beginning of the 11th century in honor of saint Catherine, one of the earliest Alexandria Christians martyrs. It contains several monuments like the burning bush seen by Moses and the remarkable Icons Gallery.

Hard but amazing

Published on Aug, 2023

This trip was hard but amazing the views from the mountain top with the sun rise a wow experience I'd say you have to be fairly fit to walk it or you can get a camel ride up 90% of the Way the monastery beautiful to see the church the burning Bush mosses well just wonderful but bring warm clothes for the mountain top its very cold at night and wear proper walking shoes
