Day 2: Catherine and Mt Sinai – Back to Cairo

By 01:00 am in the early morning, you will be collected from your hotel to visit:

Mount Sinai:

Mount Sinai, a granitic peak of the south-central Sinai Peninsula, Egypt. Mount Sinai is renowned as the principal site of divine revelation in Jewish history, where God is purported to have appeared to Moses and given him the Ten Commandments. The mountain is also sacred in both the Christian and Islamic traditions.

Because scholars differ as to the route of the Israelite exodus from Egypt and the placenames in the scriptural account cannot be identified in terms of present sites, a positive identification of the biblical Mount Sinai cannot be made. Mount Sinai itself, however, has long been accepted as the site in the traditions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.

You will go down at 06:00 am to witness:

St Catherine Monastery:

St. Catherine’s Monastery in the Sinai Peninsula of Egypt provides a profound journey into history and spirituality. This monastery was established in the 6th century by Byzantine Emperor Justinian I, and it is one of the oldest working Christian monasteries in the world.

Nestled at the foot of Mount Sinai, where it is believed Moses received the Ten Commandments, the monastery includes a precious collection of ancient manuscripts, icons, and artworks. You can discover the iconic Burning Bush, reputedly the site of God’s revelation to Moses, and experience the serene beauty of the surrounding desert landscape.

St. Catherine’s Monastery is a revered pilgrimage site, presenting a unique insight into early Christian monastic life and enduring spiritual traditions.

Afterwards, you will get back to your hotel for breakfast, and we will then drive you back to Cairo by A/C vehicle.
