Tour to Saint Catherine from Eilat

Day 1:

After crossing the Border at Taba (if necessary) we drive along the shores of the Red Sea and then through an ever-changing area of bizarre Sandstone-Formations to the Sinai High Mountain Range. If we climb Mt. Moses for sunrise (not recommended!) we will take the time to swim in the colorful coral-reef by Nuweiba, and also stop by the Oasis Ein Hudra (Biblical Hatzeroth?) and the famous “Rock of Inscriptions” nearby. We continue driving to St. Catherine. It is recommended to climb Mt. Moses, the traditional Mt. Sinai, where the Ten Commandments were given, the same day. Doing so, we “earn” a good night sleep, and avoid the noisy masses climbing on the Mountain for sunrise. Overnight in a Tourism Class Hotel in St. Catherine.

Day 2:

(It is possible, but not recommended, to climb Mt. Moses for sunrise, with the masses). After Breakfast we visit the famous St. Catherine’s Monastery, including the Church, dated back to the 6^th Century and never destroyed since then, “The Burning Bush”, and “Jetro’s Well”. After lunch in a Tourism Class Restaurant we drive back to Eilat, stopping by Ein Hudra, “The Rock of Inscriptions” and maybe for a swim in the Red Sea, as described above in Day 1.

Above Tour departs daily with minimum 4 pax or as a Private Tour!
