DAY 4: ST CATHERİNE MONASTERY & DAHAB TOUR WITH LUNCH- HOTEL

‘We start our Full Day St. Catherine Monastery & Dahab tour with lunch in the early hours after we get our breakfast boxes from our hotel. We meet our guide in our car and set off towards St. Catherine, which is about 200 km away. After our journey accompanied by endless desert landscapes, we will start our monastery visit upon our arrival.

The Greek-Orthodox Monastery was founded at the foot of the Sinai Mountains, which are roughly defined by Christians as ‘the place where God trampled with His feet’ (Isaiah 18:7, Bible), as it is known as the place where God spoke to Moses. In the holy books, God is said to have spoken to Moses in the form of a flame. It is believed that the fire that is constantly burning in front of the monastery (Burning Bush) was lit from this original fire and has never been extinguished until today. Since the relics in the monastery are considered sacred by all Christian denominations, it is considered a place of pilgrimage.

In addition, historical documents contain information that the Prophet Muhammad met with the clergy in charge here, and these documents are also confirmed by leading Islamic scholars. Famous historical figures such as Sultan Selim I, Napoleon, Tsarina Katarina and Empress Helena are also known to have visited this monastery.

Important Note: The monastery does not accept visitors on days and hours when religious rites are performed. Since these days and hours are not announced in advance, our company cannot be held responsible for this situation. In such a case, the monastery can be seen from outside.

Here we will also see the place where Moses met his wife, the tomb of the Prophet Aaron and the Golden Calf Carving. Afterwards, we go to the Canyons, the hidden treasure of the Sinai Desert with our 4X4 jeeps. Here, our guests can climb up the canyon by trekking and take unique photos.

Then, we go to Dahab, a fishing town that will delight you with its peaceful atmosphere. We will have lunch at Ali Baba, one of Dahab's most famous restaurants on the seafront. After lunch, you can stroll around the bazaar and shop in your free time.

At the end of our trip; We go to the 3 Pools (3 Pools) Region, one of the famous snorkelling areas of the Red Sea, and take our break in the Bedouin tent here. Our guests can discover the underwater beauties of the Red Sea by snorkelling. We will also have a pleasant camel ride on the beach and explore the oasis in a nearby canyon by ATV. We complete our visits in this way and return to our Hilton hotel. (SHARM EL SHEIKH ACCOMMODATION) 4*+ Doubletree By Hilton Sharks Bay Hotel
