📜 Mount Moses & St. Catherine’s Monastery Program

Travel through the rugged Sinai Desert to the foot of Mount Sinai (Mount Moses)—one of the most sacred mountains in the world. Rising to 2,285 meters (7,498 feet), Mount Sinai is revered in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam as the place where Prophet Moses received the Ten Commandments.

For those who wish to follow in the footsteps of Moses, the climb to the summit takes approximately three hours.

At the summit, you’ll find a small chapel and a mosque, symbolizing the mountain’s deep spiritual significance.

If climbing the 3,700 steps to the summit isn’t for you, you can instead explore the remarkable St. Catherine’s Monastery, located at the foot of Mount Sinai.
