It was a long and tiring journey, but it was absolutely worth it. We left Sharm El Sheikh at 7:30 in the morning by private taxi. After about 200 km, we arrived at around 11:00. We paid a $10 entrance fee to the Saint Catherine Protectorate. Near the entrance to the monastery, there is another checkpoint, and then you have to walk for about 15–20 minutes. However, you can also take a bus for $1 per person. The monastery is not very large. Inside, there is a library with ancient manuscripts, a fresco, a prayer area containing the relics of Saint Catherine, and a place filled with history and heartfelt prayers. You can also buy small souvenirs at quite reasonable prices, considering that you are so far away from everything. You can even find accommodation nearby. I will leave the phone number of a young man named Ahmed: +20 100 658 3282. At the monastery, you can find all the necessary information. Christians can pray, fast, or take part in various activities with the monks. The long journey was worth it. The soul is more important than the body!
Clean and beautiful hotel the staff are so excellent so friendly and couldn't do enough for us. Very child friendly mini disco in the evening which our 2 year old loved the only complaint was she wanted it to go on for longer. Bar staff are incredible very quick and made the best cocktails. Abd was exceptional. Would definitely recommend and return.
