St. Catherine Monastery and the surroundings' majestic mountains sum up the magic and diversity of the Sinai Region. It is certainly true that the sheer magnificence of this place and its isolation from everyday life have inspired people of all religions.

Enjoy a complimentary pick-up in the early morning from your accommodation in Sharm El Sheikh and Dahab and head towards St. Catherine Monastery through the fascinating mountains, Valleys and sand dunes of Sinai. Your first stop will be at the Monastery of St. Catherine which was built on the site where it is said that Moses talked to God in the miracle of the Burning Bush. It is a spectacular natural setting for priceless multicultural works of art, Arab mosaics, Greek and Russian icons and oil paintings.

Leaving Saint Catherine region behind, you will have time for a lunch at local restaurant on the coast of Dahab, followed by a tour of Dahab city, which means "gold" in Arabic. After the unique experience in the Sinai holy land, you will head back to Sharm el-Sheikh.

Excellent guide who was informative and interesting. The lunch at Dahab was amazing. We really enjoyed the day. Slight downside was that the coach seats were not comfortable.

Près de 6h de route sur la journée, pour trouver un monastère fermé.

Es war ein sehr schöner Ausflug. Unser Reiseleiter hat sich sehr bemüht, unsere Wünsche zu erfüllen und unsere Fragen zu beantworten (eine sehr nette und hilfsbereite Person). Leider war sein deutsch nicht so gut. Ich nehme an, dass er aus diesem Grund weinig vom Land und von den Leuten erzählt hat. Das fand ich ein weinig schade.

Dommage que l’on puisse fort si peu du monastère. À améliorer : confort et visibilité dans le véhicule: car la majorité de la journée se passe dans celui-ci. Sinon : journée bien agréable .

Leuke tour. Jammer van de vele militaire checkpoints die de boel ernstig kunnen vertragen. Gids gaf goede bondige samenvattingen, bij de pyramide kregen we een andere gids die detail na detail inging zonder wederhoor en daardoor kwamen we meer voor hem was het gevoel. Tui of de gidsen hanteren wel strenge regels over van wie je wel of niet mag kopen. Zelfs van kinderen niet als ze iets mooi maken voor je. Denk alsjeblieft meer na over de uitzonderingen op de “regel”
