See the sun rise over the desert on an unforgettable
visit to the place where Moses received the 10 Commandments.
You'll travel in air-conditioned comfort with your own
personal Egyptologist guide, who will accompany you up
Moses' Mountain and take you on a tour of St. Catherine's
Monastery.
On this sunrise tour you will watch the sun rise over the
Sinai Mountains, and retrace the footsteps of Moses when he
climbed Mt. Sinai to receive the 10 Commandments. Note that
the descent is not too steep, but there are around 500 steps
at the very summit.
On your journey back down the mountain you will stop at St.
Catherine's Monastery, built between 527 and 565 A.D. The
monastery is believed to have been built around the site of
Moses' Burning Bush. During your visit you will visit the
chapel of a Greek Orthodox church to see famous icons and
the Mosaic of Transfiguration.
Please note: St. Catherine's Monastery is approximately 142
miles ( 230 kilometers) from Sharm el Sheikh.
