The sacred Monastery of St. Catherine in Sinai’s spectacular High Range Area remains one of the most important sights of pilgrimage in the world. The monastery was erected in the 6 century and stands at the foot of Mount Sinai (the Holy Mountain on which Moses received the Ten Commandments). Greek Orthodox monks care it for today in the same tradition as in centuries past.
We spend the morning exploring this miraculous and fascinating before setting off on foot for the summit of Mt. Sinai. A two hour hike takes us to the summit where we rest and enjoy the sunset and the incredible panoramic views across this truly enchanting land.
