Travel Itinerary

Day 1 - Drive to St. Catherine & Overnight

Your journey begins with an afternoon pickup from your Sharm El Sheikh hotel. A private air‑conditioned vehicle takes you on a scenic drive through the Sinai Desert to St. Catherine. Upon arrival, check into your 4‑star hotel and enjoy a relaxing dinner. After dark, you’ll meet your Bedouin guide and begin the night climb up Moses Mountain (Mount Sinai). The ascent takes several hours, but the reward is a breathtaking sunrise from the summit – a truly spiritual experience. After watching the dawn light up the rugged peaks, you’ll descend back to the hotel for rest and breakfast.

Day 2 - St. Catherine Monastery & Return to Sharm

After breakfast, check out and visit the world‑famous St. Catherine Monastery. Explore its ancient walls, see the Burning Bush, and view priceless icons and manuscripts in the monastery’s library. Your guide will share the rich history of this holy site, which has been a center of pilgrimage for centuries. After the tour, you’ll drive back through the Sinai Desert to Sharm El Sheikh, arriving at your hotel in the early afternoon, filled with memories of a unique spiritual and natural adventure.
