In the early morning, our representative will pick you up from your hotel to discover the most important landmarks of the Sinai desert.
We drove by car to St. Catherine’s Monastery, located in the heart of the Sinai Peninsula at an altitude of 1570 meters at the place where Moses, according to tradition, saw the bush burning and not burning.
It is in the foothills of Mount Moses or Mount Sinai, on whose summit Moses received the Tablets of the Law with the inscribed Ten Commandments.
The monastery’s history goes back to the era of Emperor Justinian, the sixth century. It was at the same time as the wall surrounding the monastery was now built. Still, the monastery was named Saint Catherine at the beginning of the eleventh century in honour of Saint Catherine, one of Alexandria‘s earliest Christian martyrs.
Then return to your hotel.
