This monastery is the oldest in Christianity and holds remarkable treasures such as:
-
The Church of Saint Catherine Monastery – An Orthodox Greek church with a rich history, housing a library of manuscripts, icons, and the 6th-century church built on the site of the Burning Bush. It also contains the box with the relics of Saint Catherine.
-
Holy Valley – The sacred land where God commanded Moses to remove his shoes.
-
Moses Well – The place where Prophet Moses met his wife and lived for 40 years.
-
Burning Bush – The miraculous tree that was a sign to Moses to bring the Israelites to Sinai.
-
The Mosque – Built in the 11th century beside the church as a symbol of peace.
After the monastery, continue your journey to Dahab, known as the “Flower Power City” of the Red Sea. Enjoy a relaxing city tour, shopping, and lunch at a restaurant by the Gulf of Aqaba, where you can choose from fish, meat, or chicken dishes. Afterward, drive back to Sharm El-Sheikh, arriving around 17:00.
