From Cairo: Overnight Trip to Saint Catherine Monastery
About this activity
Full description
On the first day, meet your guide in your hotel lobby and then head to Saint Catherine. On the way, travel under the Suez Canal, a world-famous canal which runs between Africa and Asia. Pass by the Oyun Musa, or Moses Spring, where the prophet found sweet water during the exodus from Egypt. Stop for lunch at a local restaurant, and your own expense, and finally arrive at the Saint Catherine area. Check-in at the St. Catherine Plaza Hotel and rest for the evening, with dinner included. At 2:00 AM the following night, you will have an early start to begin your climb to Mount Sinai. Enjoy breakfast at the hotel before you start your climb on the mountain where Moses received the Ten Commandments, accompanied by a local Bedouin guide. Once you descend, meet your guide who will give you a guided tour of Saint Catherine's Monastery. See the burning bush from Biblical lore. Afterwards, be transferred back to your hotel in Cairo.

Reviews
We had very good experience with Nile cruise, dinner was nice and our guide Ms Soaud was very helpful and cooperative. She helped and guide us to move around without any hassle. Much appreciated to Soaud for her all help.
I want to thank Alaa magdy for making my trip to Egypt unforgettable. We spent a day in the El fayoum oasis. She showed us the beauty of Egypt and I can recommend a tour with her to anyone!
Hazem is a really good guide, made the tour a really great experience. Helped us take a lot of photos. Explained the history related to the pyramids in a professional way. Would really recommend to book a tour with him. Very charming and fun guide.
