Top 6 Historic Sites in Red Sea and Sinai, Egypt
Traditional attitudes prevail in the historic Sinai region on Egypt's border with Israel. The triangular peninsula is divided from the rest of Egypt by the Suez Canal and the Red Sea. Craggy mountains, including 7500-foot Mount Sinai, plunge down to the waters of the Red Sea. Spectacular snorkeling and diving sites beckon from the Gulf of Aqaba to the east of the peninsula, particularly along the dramatic coastline of Na'ama Bay in Sharm el Sheikh. Camelback safaris offer distinctive desert excursions.

Reviewed By worldnomad_01 - Los Angeles, United States
The beautiful monastery was built in mid of the 6th century AD at the orders of the Byzantine emperor Justinian, it is one of the oldest, continuously operating Christian monasteries in the world, contains the oldest monastic library with many unique books, the oldest and most beautiful icons collection, some of which date back to the 5th century and it also contains the site where Moses is supposed to have seen "the burning bush". Fortress like, surrounded by massive fortifications, the monastery is located at the foot of Mount Sinai, at the mouth of a gorge and on a well maintained, two way street, left from the main road leading to the nearby, minuscule town of Saint Catherine. We spent a lot of time admiring the amazing icons collection and the beautiful silver gilded books donated by various Eastern European kings, went downstairs to see a small room containing skulls of hundreds of monks who met their Creator while serving the monastery, and then just spent some time walking on the monastery's narrow alleys. We twice went there at 5 pm, sat in a corner of the main church, and just listen to the sermon and the songs of the monks, in the dim lights and lightening of the evening, in the the smell of the candles and the incense and the awareness of the rich religious and historical significance of the place....
