great experience. It was exhausting to stay up the whole night and climb the mountain, but absolutely worth it! I didnt know this was the actual mountain where moses receieved the 10 commands and saw the burning bush!

We wanted to visit the Monastery but not climb up to the mountains, so we booked a private tour. Because there were 8 of us, it was only a fraction more expensive than the normal tour. Also, we went in to see the library. You have to pay an extra ticket but it was absolutely worth it!!
Did anybody else know that some art and books that were saved from the fire in Alex are stored here? Amaaazing! one of the well-preserved secrets of history.
Plus, my sis in law is a Christian, she can tick this one of the box.. next stop, Lourdes!!

I choose to book a Private trip for my Finance and me, and it was very well organized.
We went with a private car and had our own guide. We still had to leave at 8, as the Monastery closes at 11.30 am. I m very grateful that Joseph offered us a private trip so we could do everything at our own pace. My Fiance is a nature freak so he took some time photographing the beautiful plants and insects in and around.
As an extra we booked the Arada Canyon. for the Valley of Inscriptions. It is very strange that the Egyptian Government doesn't highlight these historical sights more, according to my research no other Travel agency visits these places.
Our guide Josep and his wife Annette joined us and were very knowledgeable. It was a pleasure to have them accompany us!
