What to Expect
Sinai Monastery – Visit a biblical site
In the first part of the tour, you are invited to pilgrimage to one of the oldest continuously operating Christian monasteries in the world. This UNESCO-listed site is the Monastery of St. Catherine. You will see sacred relics, the Burning Bush, and Moses' well; attend a 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 breathtaking view. This option will especially appeal to Sharm el-Sheikh guests staying at a hotel with a "coral beach" who miss the opportunity to swim in the sea without special shoes.
It's time to explore the Red Sea up close: you will take a motorboat trip to the coral reefs. The seabed here is not too deep, so everyone can admire the corals without fear.
You will also discover the colorful streets of Dahab. You will walk through them with a local resident and immerse yourself in the unique atmosphere of this town of divers, kite surfers, windsurfers, and yoga practitioners.
If you wish, you can take windsurfing lessons from a Dahab star, a well-known athlete and instructor, a multiple winner of windsurfing championships. Ride a paddleboard or even participate in regular SUP races.
📸 On this exciting day, you will take the best photos in the mountains, on the panoramic platform during the "golden hour," and on the sandy spit – the shots from here make it seem like a person is walking on water!
