Overview

You will travel through the night to Mount Sinai and climb the mountain in darkness to reach the summit of Moses Mountain in time for sunrise. The ascent ends with the sun rising above the surrounding desert, offering expansive views from atop Moses Mountain as daylight breaks. After descending at dawn, you will visit St Catherine, one of the oldest Christian monasteries in the world. The monastery stands around the site traditionally associated with the Burning Bush, and your visit will bring you close to this long‑recognised place of religious importance. Along the way you will move from the high, solitary atmosphere of the mountain to the ancient, monastic setting below, experiencing two of the area’s most significant sites.
