What to Expect
Sinai Monastery – pilgrimage to a biblical place
In the first part of the tour, we invite you to pilgrimage to one of the oldest continuously operating Christian monasteries in the world. This UNESCO-listed place is the Monastery of St. Catherine. You will see holy sites, the Burning Bush, and Moses' Well; attend service in the Basilica of the Transfiguration (if the monks permit). You will touch the relics of the Great Martyr Catherine and explore the collection of ancient icons.
33 Pleasures in Dahab
After delving into the past, you will relax on the sandy beach of Dahab and in the lounge area of a five-star hotel with a splendid view. This option will especially appeal to guests of Sharm el-Sheikh who are staying in a hotel with a 'coral beach' and miss the opportunity to enter the sea without special footwear.
It's time to explore the Red Sea up close: for this, you will take a motorboat trip to the coral reefs. The bottom here is not too deep, so everyone can admire the corals without fear.
You will also discover the colorful streets of Dahab. Stroll through them with a local resident and immerse yourself in the unique atmosphere of this town of divers, kite surfers, windsurfers, and yogis.
If you wish, you can have a windsurfing lesson with Dahab's star, a famous athlete and instructor, a multiple winner of windsurfing championships. Ride a paddleboard or even participate in regular races on paddleboards.
📸 On this exciting day, you will take the best photos in the mountains, at the observation deck during the 'golden hour,' and on the sandy spit – in the shots from here, it seems like a person is walking on water!
