From Sharm el-Sheikh to Sinai! Visit to St. Catherine's Monastery in a Mini Group
About this experience
Sinai is the cradle of three world religions and a concentration of sanctuaries. Among them is one that is equally significant for Orthodox Christians, Muslims, and Jews - this is St. Catherine's Monastery. You will find yourself at the foot of the sacred mountain and learn how the Christian temple survived hardships and preserved its originality. You will visit the walls of the church where prayers never cease, see visible symbols of asceticism, and recall stories from the Bible.
What to Expect
Once pilgrims' routes passed near Mount Sinai. People still come here nowadays to immerse themselves in biblical stories, explore authentic buildings and objects, and discover new spiritual reserves within themselves. All this and much more awaits you on a trip to St. Catherine's Monastery.
