Private Mount Sinai and Saint Catherine Tour

Mount Sinai and Saint Catherine hold powerful significance for Judaism, Christianity, and Islam alike. You’ll come to understand why as you explore a beautiful area that is off the beaten path. Although most tourists don’t make it to these sites, those who do are rewarded with an incredible and moving experience.
Our Mount Sinai and Saint Catherine Tour will take you to two of the most significant sites in the Middle East, places that both pilgrims and travelers have been venturing to for centuries. You will depart from the Egyptian border in the wee hours of the morning, traveling through Egypt’s majestic Sinai desert toward Saint Catherine, which lies at the foot of Mount Sinai.

Mount Sinai is where Moses is believed to have received the Ten Commandments in biblical times, and Saint Catherine is one of the oldest active Christian monasteries in the world. You will tour the monastery, seeing the infamous skull room and olive grove. Here you can also visit the location of the famous burning bush, where God spoke to Moses in the Bible, as well as the Well of Jethro’s Daughters. After visiting Saint Catherine, you’ll enjoy lunch in an authentic Bedouin village. Time permitting, you’ll stop at the Red Sea resort town of Nuweiba on your way back for some swimming or snorkeling in the crystal clear waters.
