Font size: Decrease font Enlarge font

Day one: you are picked up from your hotel very early in the morning, then we head south and follow the coastal road until reaching the Bedouin Village of Nuweiba. Here we either enjoy the Arabian bazaar or take in the serene Red Sea views from the local beach. Drive to view the ‘Rock of Inscriptions'. Some of the historical inscriptions on this rock date back almost 2000 years. After that stop, head straight to the towering red granite mountains of the high range where both St. Catherine's monastery and Mount Sinai are found. Enjoy the evening meal and settle for the night at a local hotel/ the Bedouin/ Sheik Mussa Camp.


Day two– Early morning we head to Mount Sinai, walking in the footsteps of the devoted pilgrims who tread this route centuries earlier. We should reach the summit just before dawn in time to witness its incredible sunrise and splendid views. Descending the mountain we return to the hotel for breakfast. We spend the later part of morning touring the monastery of St. Catherine, taking in its fascinating and unique sights and exceptional history.  Following lunch we board our jeep and leaving Mt. Sinai and St. Catherine's behind us, we head back into the desert sands for our return journey to Taba.  Enjoy an off-road drive into the colorful wadi Aradey and stop along the way at a Bedouin tent to see how these people live and have lived over thousands of years. Returning to Sinai Hotel or Eilat by evening.
