Saint Catherine Thrills and Secretes

Discover Sinai’s sacred heart—where biblical history meets rugged adventure. Summit Mount Sinai at sunrise, explore hidden monasteries, trek through kaleidoscopic canyons, and uncover Bedouin legends under endless starry skies.

Mount Sinai (Jabal Musa) Hike

Ascend the 2,285m biblical mountain where Moses received the Ten Commandments. The 2-3 hour night hike (with Bedouin guides) rewards you with a glorious sunrise. Moderate difficulty

Mount Catherine (Jabal Katrina) Hike

Challenge yourself on Egypt’s highest peak (2,629m). This 4-5 hour strenuous trek through granite valleys offers breathtaking Red Sea views. The summit chapel and sunrise make the effort worthwhile.

Live it

Wadi El Arbain Hike & Monastery

Trek the historic Wadi El Arbain pilgrim path (2-3 hours) through dramatic desert valleys to reach a secluded 6th-century monastery. Explore its ancient chapel, hermit caves, and peaceful gardens, surrounded by Sinai’s rugged mountain scenery.

St. Catherine’s Monastery Visit

Enter the 6th-century UNESCO World Heritage monastery at the mountain’s base. Marvel at the Burning Bush chapel, ancient manuscripts library (closed to public), and Byzantine mosaics. Open 9AM-11:30AM daily except Sundays/holidays – dress modestly (shoulders/knees covered).

Pay A Visit To Nuweiba and Castle Zaman

Enjoy the wonderful slow-cooked food, with a mountainous view at Castle Zaman of four countries: Palestine, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt. The exact site signifies a landmark on the ancient road connecting St. Catherine’s Monastery with Jerusalem
