Embark on a captivating full-day tour from Sharm El Sheikh that takes you to two of Sinai’s most remarkable destinations: the ancient Saint Catherine Monastery and the coastal gem of Dahab.
Your adventure begins with an early morning pick-up and a scenic 3-hour drive to the legendary Saint Catherine Monastery, perched at the foot of Mount Sinai. This UNESCO World Heritage site is one of the oldest working monasteries in the world, rich in both Christian and Jewish history. Upon arrival, you will explore the sacred grounds, home to the Burning Bush—said to be the site where Moses encountered God. You will also visit the Transfiguration Church, the second-oldest library in the world (second only to the Vatican Library), and see ancient Christian icons and manuscripts, some of the oldest in existence.
After soaking in the spiritual atmosphere, we continue to Dahab, a laid-back town on the Red Sea. Enjoy free time to shop for unique souvenirs, relax, or stroll along the waterfront. A delicious lunch awaits you at a local restaurant, where you can dine with a view of the sea before returning to Sharm El Sheikh in the late afternoon.
This tour blends history, spirituality, and relaxation, offering an unforgettable day exploring the wonders of Sinai.

A truly spiritual and historic experience." The site of the Burning Bush is incredibly moving. Highly recommended for anyone interested in history or religion
The monastery has its own hotel, restaurant and cafeteria with reasonable prices. The food was OK, sleeping beds were clean. This isn't a 5 star hotel, more of a relaxing experience, try to visit it during summer times as in winter it would be soo cold.
Amazing experience for mountain hike lovers, we took the camels till the stairs & took 750 stairs up to watch the sine & sunrise while sleeping right under the stars! Mount Sainai Mosses mountain is magical & sacred experience 🤍
The trip from Sharm el-Sheikh to the monastery was wonderful. Unfortunately, when we arrived, the museum with the icons, which is the most interesting part of the site, was closed, and there was no advance notice. Penso che non sia una cosa corretta, pullman di persone che arrivano e poi trovano il museo con le icone chiuso. We ended up wasting our time there. The monastery and church are beautiful, however.
A hidden marvel. The monastery opens only for one hour per day and limits the access to the Burning Bush, the church and the well. There's also a collection of old icons but it was closed on the day of our visit. There is also a small shop with icons, candles and so on. We could take pictures everywhere except for the church. Combined with climbing Sinai mountain, the monastery is a one the rare and unique experiences worth doing.
