Your private driver and your professional tour guide will pick you up from your hotel in Cairo or Giza to begin your thrilling journey toward St. Catherine. You will travel across the beautiful Sinai Peninsula by comfortable air-conditioned vehicle, passing from the urban environment of Cairo into increasingly dramatic desert and magnificent mountain scenery.
On the way, you will pass by the Wells of Moshe—the place where, according to tradition, Moshe split the rocks so that water would flow out and quench the thirst of the Israelites. Upon arrival, check into your cozy hotel in St. Catherine to enjoy your dinner, and take some time to relax for the evening.
St. Catherine is one of the most attractive destinations for Christian monks seeking isolation from the early centuries of Christianity. The remote and high mountains provided both physical solitude and a setting associated with the ancient biblical traditions, eventually making the region one of the most important and most famous pilgrimage landscapes in the eastern Mediterranean.
