Guía de Visita del Itinerario

Achieve a holy and sacred excursion by visiting the place where Moses got the Ten Commandments and spoke to God, where he saw the Burning Bush. At the foot of Mount Sinai, a great and sacred place is waiting for you.

The place is called the Monastery of St Catherine and is also known as the God-Trodden Mount Sinai. This Greek Orthodox monastery is one of the oldest monasteries in the world. It preserves the relics of St Catherine. The monastery's actual name is the Monastery of the Transfiguration, but it later became associated with St. Catherine of Alexandria, a 3rd-century martyr whose head and hand were brought here for safekeeping in the 10th century. St. Catherine's Monastery became a major pilgrimage destination in the Byzantine Era and it still is today.

You will start your experience around 2:00 am, accompanied by the Bedouin guide, by climbing to the top of the mountain to see the first rays of the sun when it rises on the horizon. The exceptional view on the mount top is worth the climbing for three hours.

In the early morning, you will go down to have your breakfast, then you meet your guide to explain to you all the history of the area and the monastery. You will learn why this area is so important for Judaism. Christianity and Islam.

After visiting the highlights of the place, you will drive back to Dahab.
