ST Catherine’s Monastery trip from Sharm EL Sheikh

Catherine’s Monastery is set beneath a mountain many believe to be the biblical Mt. Sinai. It has a heritage dating back to the fourth century B.C and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Still a working monastery, St. Catherine’s has defensive walls that house chapels, a library museum, and what is claimed to be a descendant of the burning bush mentioned in the Bible.
