Highlights
Embark on a captivating journey starting move at 8:30 PM from your Sharm hotel. A scenic 4-hour coach ride will lead us to the base of Moses Mountain, where an enchanting night climb of around 750 steps awaits. In about 5 hours, you'll stand atop Mount Sinai's summit, greeted by the breathtaking sunrise panorama. As the day breaks, we'll descend towards the iconic St. Catherine Monastery, a 2–3-hour journey. Spend 1 hours taking rest and exploring the wonders within the monastery's walls — from an eleventh-century mosque to an Orthodox Greek monastery nestled like a fortress. The church's interior cradles Saint Catherine's revered remains, while on the opposite side, the sacred Holy Valley beckons. It's here that Moses was instructed by God to remove his shoes, a testament to the holiness of the land. Our anticipated return to the hotel is around 2 PM, marking the end of an unforgettable journey of spirituality and history.
