Mount Moses and St. Catherine's Monastery Trip
Overview
Embark on your journey through the Sinai desert to the heart of the peninsula. You'll arrive at the base of Mount Moses late in the night to begin a two-to-three-hour hike or camel ride. Upon reaching the summit, the incomparable sight of dawn breaking over the Sinai Mountains is revealed. If you prefer, you can plan for a sunset arrival as well. Here, explore the Holy Trinity Chapel. Then, descend the mountain to reach the monastery of St. Catherine's. After a well-earned rest and meal, you'll see Moses' Well, the ornately decorated basilica, the Chapel of the Burning Bush, and the museum, which houses an impressive collection of icons and manuscripts.
