St. Catherine's Monastery
after descending from Mount Moses, we will visit St. Catherine's Monastery - an Orthodox monastic center whose history has been uninterrupted since the 6th century. It has been located in the middle of the Sinai desert for 1,400 years since it was built during the reign of the Byzantine Emperor Justinian (527-565). And the founder of Islam, the Prophet Muhammad, and the Arab caliphs, and the Turkish sultans, and even Napoleon himself patronized the monastery, which prevented it from being plundered. Throughout its long history, the monastery has never been captured or destroyed

Saint Catherine
,Mount Sinai Climb
After about 8 hours with transfer you will arrive to the mountain begins.
You will be accompanied by a Bedouin guide who will take you up the mountain.
Be sure to wear comfortable and light shoes, take warm clothes with you (jacket, windbreaker, pants, socks, hat), because before dawn at an altitude of more than 2200 meters it is very cold and a light backpack is comfortable for things and water.
You will climb Mount Moses along a wide path, first along a serpentine, then along 750 steps. When you reach the top, you can enjoy the view of the sunrise.
