St. Catherine's Monastery & Mount Sinai Tour
One of the oldest working monasteries in the world, at the foot of the mountain Moses is said to have climbed.
Level walking inside the monastery grounds with a long mountain drive each way. This is the version without the summit climb.
About this tour
St. Catherine's Monastery has been continuously inhabited since the 6th century, built around what's identified as the Burning Bush site, at the base of Mount Sinai. A daytime visit to the monastery itself — its library, icon collection, and chapel — without the overnight sunrise climb (see our separate Mount Sinai Sunrise Hike for that).
