Properly feel the biblical tradition and the spiritual atmosphere of the trip to Mount Sinai and the Monastery of St. Caterina. Cross the river and go up the mountain that Moses climbed, walking through the night to see the dawn from the top. After descending, visit one of the oldest Christian monasteries-in-the-world and even the place that is believed to be the site of the Burning Bush — St. Catherine Monastery. This unforgettable tour is a mix of adventure, spirituality and cultural experience.
Your tour begins at 7:30 pm an Aqua Tours guide will pick you from your hotel in Sharm El Sheikh. After a 3-hour drive, you’ll arrive in St. Catherine and begin your climb up Moses’ Mountain around 2:00am with an experienced Bedouin guide. The summit is unique since you watch the sunrise over the Sinai Peninsula painting the surrounding desert in gold. After descending around 7:00 pm, visit the Holy Monastery of Saint Catherine, built in the name of St. Catherine, that hosts the most holy place of the Burning Bush.
