This tour involves an early start and includes a guided tour of St Catherine’s
Monastery and there after to Mount Sinai. This is a very active one-day trip for
the more energetic travelers in particular.
We begin the tour with St Catherine’s monastery touring its historic
treasures and fascinating grounds. Get to know much about St. Catherine's
monastery before leaving this place. Have a picnic lunch and begin our ascent
on the ancient pilgrim trail of Mt. Sinai, (Biblical Mount Horeb) known in
Arabic as Jabel Musa (Moses Mountain).
A two and half hour walk takes us to the very summit where we rest and take in
the vast, scenic and inspiring views. Having descended the mountain, we return
to our vehicle and drive to a local Bedouin village for a local Bedouin style
dinner.
Returning to Taba by 22:00.
