This is the 6th century formidable fortification and still working Christian monastery. It has the second largest collection of illuminated manuscripts.

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....

An incredible experience where you feel the special energy in this place and Sinai Desert in general. It is absolutely magical! You immediately start to feel a sense of calmness and peace. The wonderful thing about it, all religions (Islam, Christianity, and Judaism) have in common that Mount Sinai was the place where prophet Moses received the 10 commands, which is why Mount Sinai is also referred as Mount Moses

6. Egypt Sandboarding

Sandana Sandboarding is Egypt's #1 sandboarding company, organizing trips in Cairo and South Sinai out of Dahab and Sharm El Sheikh in affiliation with 'Remal Adventures' and 'Sandboarding Cairo Club'. Since Sandboarding is becoming more popular in Egypt and worldwide, we see it as the sort of thing a great potential to grow because of the invigorating rush that comes with the slide down, the fact that it’s wild fun and all the while still safe enough for even children to enjoy. Besides sandboarding isn’t seasonal and is something that can be done all year round. If you haven't yet tried sandboarding, it's time to give it a try! It's safe and it's a whole lot of fun!
