Overview

Day (1) ,

Pick up at early morning to travel to Saint Catherine ( around 10 hours by bus ) enjoying Red Sea mountains along the road.

Check-in Hotel.

-At Midnight, we will climb Mousa mountain - where Moses received the Ten Commandments from God-watching sunrise.

 

Day (2) ,

After watching sunrise, we will go down & visit Saint Catherin Monastery, one of the oldest functioning monasteries in the world. Commonly known as Saint Catherine’s Monastery, its actual name is the “Sacred Monastery of the God-Trodden Mount Sinai”. It was built by the order of the Byzantine Emperor Justinian I (527–565 AD) in 548–565 ADin order to house the monks that had been living in the Sinai Peninsula since the 4th century AD.

The eponymous Saint Catherine of Alexandria was martyred in the early 4th century AD. The monastery bears her name because its monks discovered her incorrupt body on nearby Mount Saint Catherine in the 9th century AD, where it had been deposited by angels after her martyrdom.

The monastery encompasses multiple structures, the most important of which is the Church of the Transfiguration of Christ the Savior, which itself contains nine smaller churches. One of these is the Church of the Burning Bush, from which God had spoken to the prophet Moses. Saint Catherine’s Monastery also includes ten other churches, the monks’ accommodations, a refectory, an olive press, ossuaries, a Fatimid mosque from the 12th century AD, and a library that boasts rare books and 6,000 manuscripts.

-After that, we will be transferred back to Cairo by Bus (around 10 hours).
