Itinerary

On the date, and at the time which will have been confirmed with you, your guide and one of our drivers will pick you up from Sharm El Sheikh Marina, and then your 10 hour St. Catherine’s day trip from Sharm Marina will begin.

The journey from Sharm El Sheikh to the monastery is approximately 220 km. Saint Catherine’s monastery is located between Moses Mount and the St. Catherine’s Mounts. It is the oldest surviving Christian monastery in the world. The monastery is owned, maintained, and run by the Greek Orthodox Church and is one of the most visited attractions in the Sinai region.

Once you enter the complex, you will be greeted by a truly magnificent citadel which is home to numerous structures, including a famous library. This library is famous for its vast collection of icons and manuscripts, and is second only to the Vatican City itself.

Our St. Catherine’s day trip from Sharm Marina also includes a visit to Dahab. Once your tour of the monastery comes to an end you will then drive to Dahab, located on the Red Sea coast and known as the Flower Power City.

Enjoy a relatively short tour of the city, along with some time to do a bit of shopping if you want to, and then you will be taken to a good local restaurant for some lunch. After you have finished eating, you will then be driven back to Sharm El Sheikh and you’ll be dropped off at Sharm Marina.
