Overnight Trip to St. Catherine Monastery and Mount Sinai
A trusted partner experience, hand-picked and featured on This is Egypt.
Overview
You will drive from Cairo to St. Catherine and arrive in the afternoon. Early the next morning you will wake to hike the mountain in darkness so you can reach the summit for sunrise. Walking up before dawn gives you time to be at the top as the sun rises and the landscape lightens, offering a quiet, atmospheric experience on the mountain. After descending, you will visit one of Christianity’s oldest monasteries, built around the site of the Burning Bush. The visit focuses on the monastery itself and its connection to that historic site. After breakfast you will return to Cairo.
