Egypt Historic Site Tours St.Catherine's Monastery 1day Sinai Egyptian Tour

Font size:

Very early in the morning at 06:00am, depart for the St.Catherines tour by jeep. The Monastery of St. Catherine in Sinai's High Range Area remains one of the most important sights of pilgrimage in the world. Saint Catherine's manastery and its surrounding area is a word heritage site. This area is protected by UNESCO. The monastery was erected in the 6 century and stands at the foot of Mount Sinai (traditionally believed to be the mountain on which Moses received the Ten Commandments).

'The monastery of the Transfiguration” is the cultural Name although it’s commonly called St Catherine’s. We spend the morning exploring this historic site before heading to a nearby hotel to enjoy a buffet lunch.

We board our jeeps by afternoon and leave St. Catherine's monastery behind us for an off-road tour into the depths of the Sinai desert. During this taste of 4X4 tour adventure, we visit the tribal cemetery of Nawamis whose 6,000-year-old graves are amongst the most ancient covered structures in the world. These are some of Egypt’s hidden treasures. We also visit the ‘Rock of Inscriptions' carved by the very first intrepid pilgrims to venture here.

Make a stop over for an informative talk, photography and to admire the beautiful views over the Ein Hudra oasis before commencing the return journey to our Sinai hotel or Eilat by evening.
