Opis

St. Catherine city has a high spiritual significance as a result of its location near Moses Mountain. Enjoy the Beautiful landscape all the way from Sharm El Sheikh and visit the oldest monastery in the world! St. Catherine's Monastery lies on the Sinai Peninsula, at the mouth of a gorge at the foot of Mount Sinai in St. Catherine's City. The monastery is Orthodox and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This monastery is one of the oldest working Christian monasteries in the world. The monastery was built by order of Emperor Justinian I, enclosing the Chapel of the Burning Bush ordered to be built by St. Helen, the mother of Constantine I, at the site where Moses is supposed to have seen the burning bush; the living bush on the grounds is purportedly the original. It is also referred to as "St. Helen's Chapel". The site is sacred to Judaism, Christianity and Islam.

Unique day in a unique place

A truly special experience that we will carry in our hearts. ❤️ The tour to Saint Catherine's Monastery on Mount Sinai was organized very well, from departure to return. Our driver Shaker was truly great: kind, helpful, and above all very attentive throughout the trip, making us feel calm and in good hands. Our guide Mohamed was also very kind and knowledgeable. He accompanied us with care, telling us the history and the peculiarities of this fascinating place. It was an intense day, but full of emotions and moments that we will not easily forget. A heartfelt thank you to Waleed, manager of A1TOUREG, for the professionalism, availability, and for making this experience even more beautiful. Highly recommended! ❤️ Isabella and Nicola

Private tour to Sinai

I contacted the agency for a private tour to Saint Catherine Monastery in Sinai. From the first email, everything was perfect, great communication and wonderful people. Our guide, Mister Mohamed, was very well informed, very professional, great on storytelling, with deep local knowledge. And our driver, Mister Ragab, who also picked us up from the airport and took us there, was so kind, always with a calm smile on his face. They both made us feel very welcomed, like friends, not customers and they offered us a memorable day . Our 2 years old daughter loved them, they made her feel special. Thank you both so much! 🌞

Great tour - loved it

It's one-time in life experience!! Really amazing and I highly recommend it! We were picked up at the hotel at 8pm and around 11pm we were close to the monastery. We were hiking until approx. 3am and then waited for sunrise on the mountain. There were camiles to rent, blankets, hot chocolate, tea and coffee. After sunrise, we came back from the mountain around 8am and visited St. Catherine monastery. It's a must thing to do if you are visiting Sharm El Sheikh or Dahab city. One of the most exciting and the best experiences in my life!!
