Visit St Catherine's Monastery

Pick up from your hotel in the morning by your experienced Tour Guide, then transferred by comfortable vehicle to the Sinai Peninsula for your fascinating tour of St Catherine's Monastery.
On arrival, you will explore the history of St. Catherine, who was martyred due to the order of the then Roman Emperor, along with many other martyrs protesting against harsh Roman rule. The Monastery still holds a collection of the world's oldest book collection. Over time, the Monastery has been occupied by many different rulers ranging from Latin- Greek and still sacred to Islam, Christianity and Judaism. The Monastery also hosts a massive collection of priceless artworks valued for their age and religious importance. Of course, the Monastery is also the site for the bottom of Mount Sinai, also known as Mount Moses, the place where it is said that the biblical figure of Moses climbed to the top and pointed to the promised land. Time for some memorable photos.
The sheer location of the Monastery is a truly unmissable site to be discovered.
After your tour, you will return to your hotel in Sharm El Sheik for time to relax.
