The Heavenly Cathedral

Reviewed By k7vidya - London, United Kingdom

We went here as part of the evening tour, Sharm Secrets by Redsea Holidays. I was gobsmacked to see the beautiful painting on the ceilings and walls. The painting tells the bible stories. A fantastic way to get the community together.

Nawamis

Reviewed By Brun066 - Florence, Italy

"Nawamis" is a name designating, not only in Sinai but also in Yemen and Oman, cylindrical buildings of squared stones, featuring a flat top but inside shaped like a dome, with a single and narrow door-window towards the external. The Sinai nawamis are located in a village (not far from the Dahab-Saint Catherine road) which has taken the same name. However, we arrived and departed from the site on foot, during the fifth day of our journey along the "Sinai Trail". The nawamis are lined up along a low rocky ridge, not far from the village, and are usuaally lonely. But when travelers approach (it was also our case) women and children from the village transmigrate here with their wares, displaying them at their feet and trying to sell them; so the site doesn't look like a collection of tombs, but a set of dwellings of a strange "village of the living". Opinions differ on the genesis and dating of these constructions: as I understand it, we go from a dating to about 4000 b. C. (which would make them the oldest buildings of the Sinai) at a dating of about 1000 b. C., by the Nabateans, the same people who built Petra. However, an already extraordinarily evocative region like the inner Sinai receives further prestige from these venerable buildings.

Al Mustafa Mosque

Reviewed By 606slys

Wow..???? Wow..???? Wow..???? The Mosque is absolutely beautiful and is open to everyone and is a must to see if visiting Sharm.. I've not seen a Mosque like this from the outside and I've been to hundreds. It's like out of an Arabian fairytale. The right dress code to wear is located to the left of the main entrance and is free I hear.. I saw many many tourists taking photos of themselves in the Jilbab (long gown) and scarf and they looked really good in it. It is Free to go in and once inside the red patterned carpet and the lighting and architecture are just amazing. PLEASE NOTE: Respect the house of the Lord once inside the main hall, as I saw many many different.. "Especially girls" posing for photos as if they were on a catwalk or on a night out. PLEASE THINK and don't be disrespectful and lower your voices. One would do the same etiquette in a Church.. So PLEASE be respectful. We had the pleasure of going upstairs to the Grand Hall and let me tell you if you think the lower hall was amazing the Grand Prayer Hall upstairs was spectacular with huge lights and different coloured glass and Arabic verses from the Qur'aan. Overall it is a MUST to see if in Sharm. But please be respectful once inside the Mosque people.

St. Catherine's Monastery

Reviewed By margdim - Rafina, Greece

After a long 6 hour trip from Sharm, this orthodox monastery with the very old (from Napoleon era) history, really took our breath with it's story and the breathtaking landscape around it. The only thing that we didn't like, was that because of the long distance from a "safe" zone, we had only 45'-1 hour available to explore the monastery
