Excursion Itinerary

Early morning, TheTripBooking representative will pick you up from your hotel to head to the greatest areas of Sinai desert by modern jeep. At a height of 1570 meters in the center of Sinai Peninsula, we drive to Saint Catherine monastery where, according to the stories, Moses saw the bush on fire that never burned up. On the foothills of Gable Moses, sometimes known as Mount Sinai, Moses received the tables of the law bearing the 10 commandments. The monastery began in the sixth century of Emperor Justinian. It was at the same time an enclosure wall surrounding the monastery just now. While the monastery was named Saint Catherine at the beginning of the 11th century in commemoration of one of the first Alexandria Christian martyrs.

Subsequently, return to the St. Cathrien Road around 65 kilometers north of St. Cathrien, where the trailhead for the colorful canyon, one of Sinai's natural beauties, begins. It’s extremely thin walls, which are 40 meters high and slightly wider in certain places, are composed of sandstone that has an amazing variety of colors, ranging from straw yellow to red to dark brown. This is because iron and magnesium oxides are present in the stone. After lunch, you'll return to Dahab city to spend some time strolling around Mashyia Street. Next, return to your accommodation by driving.
