Rejseplan
Vi bliver hentet fra vores hotel kl. 11.30, kører til starten af vandreturen og starter vandreturen kl. 14.00. Hvor vi nyder de magiske syn og lyde fra det bjergrige omkringliggende område, er området gennemsyret af historie og nævnt i adskillige religiøse tekster. Da vi kom op på bjerget i et beduintelt med tæpper til at holde os varme. Nyd en fantastisk tidlig solnedgang over klostret. Vi kan nyde at se på stjernerne som solnedgange. Nyd nattestjernerne sammen, spis noget aftensmad og sæt dig til rette for natten. Vågn op tidligt for at nyde den smukke solopgang, Nyd en morgenmad på bjerget med mulighed for at dele gaver til dem, der ønsker at gøre det.
Derefter begynder vi vores vej ned igen og besøger Moses-bjerget og Saint Catherine-klostret, som betragtes som et af de mest berømte klostre i verden, og det er også et af kristendommens ældste klostre. Det ligger i hjertet af Sinai-halvøen i en højde af 1570 meter på det sted, hvor Moses ifølge traditionen så busken stå i brand, som ikke brændte op. Klosteret er ortodoks og er på UNESCOs verdensarvsliste. Klosteret daterer sig tilbage til kejser Justinians tidsalder i det 6. århundrede. Det var samme tidspunkt, hvor man byggede en indhegning, der omgiver klostret lige nu, men klostret blev navngivet Saint Catherine i begyndelsen af det 11. århundrede til ære for Saint Catherine, en af de tidligste Alexandria-kristne martyrer. Det indeholder flere monumenter som den brændende busk set af Moses og det bemærkelsesværdige Icons Gallery. Gå derefter tilbage til dit hotel.

Possibly one of the hardest and most rewarding things we did on our 2 week vacation in Egypt. The very fact we stayed overnight to see the sunset and sunrise on top of the mountain of such historical religious importance with the local Bedouins was an outstanding life experience. Our Bedouin guide Gemal was local to the area, extraordinarily fit and a total Gentleman....he personally cooked our delicious kebab salad & lentil soup dinner and trad breakfast of soft cheese boiled eggs and local breads.......huge respect! However be warned........the walk up & down the mountain is hard! We had got ourselves used to how walking the 4 k path then up 750 steps might be in the gym and locally in our mountainous Wales. But as fit as we were nothing can prepare you for the heat and subsequent difficulty of the uphill @10% average climb of the 4k path then up the 750 stone steps to the Mount. We took camels at 2.5k up to the end station before the steps as it was so hard! Down is better but still, be prepared for the heat, 35/37 degrees! The Monastery is beautiful, the icons in the museum are a must see, and it is a wonderful all round experience. The one real draw back for us was the company we booked through were literally impossible to get hold of through tripadvisor, to the point we thought we might have been scammed by them! Sadly it was only after our finding them online did we manage to get some travel information from them: such as what we should take for an overnight stay, the temp on the Mt overnight, or where exactly they were collecting us etc etc, and even then it was 2/3 word rather grumpy answers or just cut and pasting what was already listed in the tripadvisor app!. We were not sent any information prior to the trip independently of our asking at all. Our experience has been that all the other trip companies we have used through trip advisor both in Egypt and other countries, have always sent loads of stuff prior to the trip via WhatsApp and email!l Very very disappointing customer service I am afraid. We did most of that research ourselves prior to the trip, so they really should sort this out! But the trip was so brilliant, our guide Gemal was a local hero for us and the whole experience of being in the mountains of thenSinai desert was worth every penny!
