Overview

This experience takes you to Mount Sinai and to St. Catherine’s Monastery, one of the oldest Christian monasteries in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You will visit St. Catherine, the world’s oldest working Christian monastery, which was built around the site of the Burning Bush. Along the way you will see the monastery’s historic setting and the significance of this ancient place. You will also climb Mount Sinai to reach the summit of Moses Mountain and watch the sunrise from the top. As dawn breaks you will have an unencumbered view of the surrounding landscape and, beforehand, the star‑lit universe above the mountain. The combination of the monastery’s heritage and the mountain’s dramatic sunrise creates a memorable encounter with the region’s natural and religious landmarks.
