St. Catherine's Monastery & Mount Sinai-One day tour (Sinai tours)










Beware: The recent increase in visitors to this area has brought with it a colorful wave of Internet 'tour operators'. Be discerning, we won't compromise the quality of your tour. Be sure you don't.
This tour involves an early start and includes a guided tour of St Catherine’s Monastery and ascending Mount Sinai.
It is a very active one-day trip for the more energetic travelers only. We begin the tour with St Catherine's monastery touring its fascinating grounds and historic treasures. Having left St. Catherine's monastery we take a picnic lunch and begin our ascent on the ancient pilgrim trail of Mt. Sinai, (Biblical Mount Horeb) known in Arabic as Jabel Musa (Moses Mountain). A two hour walk takes us to the very summit where we rest and take in the vast and inspiring views. Having descended the moutain we return to our vehicle and drive to a local Bedouin village for a local Bedouin style dinner. Returning to Taba by 22:00.
