Itinerary

At night, the day before the tour, between 9 and 10 PM, the pickup is from Sharm to visit the small city of St. Catherine, about 2 hours’ drive away. Once you arrive, start your tour by ascending the stairs to the top of Moses Mountain, where the prophet Moses talked to God and received the Ten Commandments. Enjoy one of the rarest and most enjoyable sunrise views in the world. After descending the mountain, visit one of the oldest Christian monasteries in the world, which lies between Moses Mountain and St. Catherine. St. Catherine’s Monastery is officially the “Sacred Monastery of the God-Trodden Mount Sinai.” The monastery is controlled by the autonomous Church of Sinai, part of the wider Greek Orthodox Church, and is a UNESCO World Heritage site. It was built between 548 and 565. The site contains the world’s oldest continually operating library. After finishing, drive to Dahab to have lunch at a good-quality local restaurant. Then go back to Sharm El Sheikh.
