ST. CATHERINE

Day 5: ST. CATHERINE

After a delightful breakfast at the hotel, we set out towards St. Catherine in the early hours of the morning. Embarking on a journey through the vast desert landscapes, we commence our visit to St. Catherine's Monastery. Known as the Saint Catherine Greek Orthodox Monastery, it is situated at the foot of Mount Sinai, the place where, according to the Quran, Prophet Moses communicated with Allah. The perpetual flame in front of the monastery is believed to have been lit from the original fire, remaining unextinguished throughout history. The monastery holds great significance as a pilgrimage site due to the relics considered sacred by various Christian denominations. Additionally, historical documents indicate that Prophet Muhammad visited this monastery during his repeated expeditions, a fact supported by prominent Islamic scholars. Notable historical figures such as Sultan Selim I, Napoleon, Empress Catherine, and Empress Helena have also visited the monastery. Embraced by people of all faiths and even those without religious affiliations, the monastery is seen as a place of spiritual purification, where visitors can offer prayers and make wishes according to their beliefs. The first edition books, original manuscripts of the Old and New Testaments, and historical icons housed in the monastery are considered among the most significant treasures in the history of world religions. (Please note that some of these treasures may not be present in the monastery during your visit, as they are often displayed in museums worldwide.) The monks, nuns, and monks living in the monastery lead a monastic life in warm relations with the Bedouin people in the desert. During the tour, we will explore the place where Prophet Moses met his wife, the tomb of Prophet Aaron, and the Golden Calf Carving. As the tour concludes, we head towards Sharm El Sheikh. Upon arrival, a transfer to our hotel will be arranged, and we'll proceed with check-in. Dinner and overnight accommodation will take place at our hotel.

SHARM EL SHEIKH

Day 6: SHARM EL SHEIKH

Today, we'll have the opportunity to explore the city. Formerly a port city, Sharm El Sheikh has been declared by UNESCO as the "Best City in the World" for peace and beauty. It's also known as the "City of Peace." Our first stop is the Sahaba Mosque, where we take a short break. Completed in 2011, the mosque, with its 76-meter minaret, leaves a lasting impression on observers. After a break for prayer and photos, you'll have free time to explore the local souvenirs at the bazaar in the old city. We gather at the specified time and board our waiting boat at the pier. We'll have the chance to observe the Red Sea, one of the most colorful and beautiful underwater environments globally, from a glass-bottom boat. After an enjoyable boat tour, we return to our hotel. If you wish, you can explore the old city or Soho Square on your own, wandering through the streets of Sharm for shopping. Alternatively, you can participate in extra activities organized by our guide, such as a Desert ATV/Buggy Safari or a Bedouin Night in the desert.
