Overnight Saint Catherine

After travel from your hotel in Eilat to Taba border, 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 Saint 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 Tourist Class Hotel in Saint Catherine.

(It is possible, but not recommended, to climb Mt. Moses for sunrise, with the masses). After Breakfast, we visit the famous Saint 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, continue to travel  back to Taba border – Eilat (Israel)
