Overview

Embark on a captivating journey with your private group, starting around 8:30 PM from your hotel. A scenic 4-hour coach ride will lead you to the base of Moses Mountain, where an enchanting night climb of around 750 steps awaits. As the day breaks, stand atop Mount Sinai's summit, 2,285 meters above sea level, greeted by a breathtaking sunrise panorama.

Descend towards the iconic St. Catherine Monastery, a 2–3-hour journey. Spend about 1 hour exploring the wonders within the monastery's walls—from an eleventh-century mosque to an Orthodox Greek monastery nestled like a fortress. Inside, discover Saint Catherine's revered remains, and outside, the sacred Holy Valley where Moses was instructed by God to remove his shoes, a testament to the holiness of the land.

Return to the hotel around 2:00 PM, marking the end of an unforgettable journey of spirituality and history.

This private tour is exclusively curated for your group, ensuring an intimate and personalized experience throughout.
