About this experience
We offer you a rich trip to two different places near Sharm El Sheikh. In the city of Sinai, we will remember the great Exodus of Moses from Egypt and visit important points along this path. We will also look at both shores of Africa and Asia simultaneously. In the Ras-Mohammed National Park, we will talk again about the prophet and his followers, as well as the wonders of nature scattered around.
What to Expect
- Country breakfast. On the shore of the Suez Bay with a panoramic view of two continents - Asia and Africa, you will be offered a traditional breakfast: salty cottage cheese with olive oil, cheese according to the recipe of the pharaohs, black cane honey with sesame sauce, and fetir - freshly baked layered bread.
- Mosque with the mausoleum of Moses' companion - the oldest mosque in the city, named after the priest Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani. However, it is not he who is buried inside, but the companion of Moses - the righteous Khidr.
- Coral houses for dockworkers. They are indeed built of coral, with internal walls and partitions made of brick. Dockworkers of the new port of Et-Tur, as well as fishermen and their families, used to live here.
- Monastery of St. Gregory. In addition to monastic cells, there is a church here where the relics of the monk Gregory are kept - he is considered the builder of the bell tower of the Saint Catherine Monastery (Sinai Monastery).
- Moses' Bath (Hammam Mussa). A sulfur spring surrounded by a beautiful garden with palm trees and fruit trees. According to legend, the water of this spring was fresh until the time of the Exodus. You will hear the legend of what made it salty.
- Ras-Mohammed National Park. After lunch at a unique restaurant in the Guzlane bay, enjoying the view of the Ras Mohammed reserve, we will explore it. You will see the point of formation of two bays - the Aqaba and Suez, impressive Stone Gates and Lion's Rock, the mysterious Mangrove Channel, as well as the incredibly salty Magical Bay, fulfilling wishes, and the fault line called the Red Sea's double. You will hear a lot of legends and historical facts about each of these places.
- Old Market of Sharm El Sheikh. It is famous for its numerous authentic restaurants, fruit stalls, oils and spices, and perfume factories. In the center of the Old Market is the El-Sahaba Mosque - the most beautiful attraction of the city.
