    Saint Catherine

    Your day begins with a private hotel pickup and a comfortable drive to Saint Catherine Monastery, located about 230 km from Sharm El Sheikh. Nestled at the foot of Moses Mountain, also known as Mount Sinai, the monastery is one of the oldest in the world. Named after Saint Catherine of Alexandria in the 11th century, it honors the Christian martyr and holds deep religious significance. Following your visit to the monastery, you'll continue to Mount Sinai, or Jabal Musa, a sacred site believed by many to be where Moses received the Ten Commandments. Rising to 2,285 meters (7,497 ft), the mountain is surrounded by even higher peaks, including Mount Catherine—Egypt’s tallest at 2,629 meters (8,625 ft). After taking in the serene mountain landscape and historical atmosphere, you’ll return by private transfer to your hotel in Sharm El Sheikh, ending a meaningful and memorable journey.
