  • St. Catherine's Monastery, Saint Catherine, Egypt
    The oldest Christian monastery in the world. The Monastery was built in 337 AD at the place where “God spoke” to all the people the words of the covenant, that is Ten Commandments received by Prophet Moses. The empress of Byzantium Elena, ordered a chapel be established for the pilgrimage of Christians. Emperor Justinian further enlarged the monastery. The Saint Catherine’s Monastery and the Burning Bush began to gain world fame. The monastery was not plundered nor attacked and strands today as a subordinate to the Jerusalem Church. It is one of the UNESCO World Heritage Site. Despite the fact that the monastery of St. Catherine is the smallest diocese in the world. While this is the oldest monastery of the Christian world, which works in our time. The rich history of the monastery has a huge number of icons, ancient manuscripts, priceless of its kind. If you book your tour on a Sunday, the visit of the insides of the monastery will not be possible, the monastery is closed on Sundays!

  • Mount Sinai, Saint Catherine, Egypt
    Tourists and pilgrims are trying to get to the top of Mount Sinai early in the morning to meet the sunrise, to see from the height, how the sun rises on the horizon and penetrates the clouds. This is an amazing sight that everyone should see once. Therefore, travellers begin their journey in the evening, as the road can take up to 4-5 hours. For an additional fee, we can accommodate local Bedouins and climb Mount Sinai by camel. Tired of traveling, you can refresh yourself with fresh tea and aromatic coffee on the top of a mountain in an old abandoned chapel. There Bedouins sell souvenirs. Christian while making their pilgrimage to the mountain, try to conquer Sinai on foot. Since following religious tradition, this ascent clears them, ennobles the soul and body.

What an amazing experience it was to make it to the top of the mountain in time to watch the sun rise. It was one of the highlights from my trip to Egypt!

This trip was awe inspiring. The pick up was at 9 pm at our hotel and we traveled by private car ( taxi) to St Catherine's and then on to the base of Mt Sinai. We there meet our local bedouin guide to take us up the mountain. My wife and I started the walk up but eventually realized it was more than we could do in a reasonable amount of time so opted to take camels up the trail. They were reasonable I felt at 50 dollars USD and we were up at the head of the trail in an hour and a half. The last 750 steps to the top are a hard climb in the dark with slippery uneven steps and thin air at that altitude. You must be fit to do the climb. In our mid 60's my wife and I made it about half way but turned back. The sun rise from the base was just as awesome and beautiful as from the top even if we saw it about 2 to 3 seconds latter. Nothing should stop you from making this trip though. It was wonderful and worth every effort. After sunrise we walked back down to the monastery, about 2 hours, and met up with our guide again to continue the tour. We spent about 45 minutes in the monastery seeing the chapel, the burning bush, and Mosses' well. The greatest thing I took away from this tour is the ability of Christian's Jew's and Muslim's can all come to this same holy ground and pray side by side in peace. It gives me hope for all the childern of God to live in peace. This is a must do experience and tripster did a wonderful job
