Overnight at St. Catherine Monastery & Mt Sinai

Overview

This experience takes you to legendary Mount Sinai — also called Moses' Mountain — the place where the Prophet Moses is said to have received the Ten Commandments. You will also visit the Monastery of St Catherine, which is considered one of the oldest Orthodox monasteries in the world. Along the way, you will explore the mountain’s atmosphere and the ancient religious sites that surround it, learning about their spiritual and historical significance. The tour involves substantial walking and climbing, so it feels more like a pilgrimage than a simple sightseeing outing. Many visitors time their visit to see sunrise over the mountain; you may be rewarded with a memorable dawn view as light spills across the landscape. Accommodation is included: one night’s basic half-board in a 3-star hotel in St Catherine, giving you time to rest before or after your mountain visit.
