Overview

You will travel from Cairo to St. Catherine, arriving in the afternoon. After settling in, you'll wake early the next morning to begin a pre-dawn hike up the mountain. Walking in the darkness, you will reach the summit in time to watch the sunrise from the mountain top. As you descend, you will visit one of Christianity’s oldest monasteries, built around the site of the Burning Bush. There you will see the monastery set around that historic location and experience the atmosphere of this ancient spiritual complex. After breakfast you will return to Cairo.
