About the trip
Mount Sinai (Mount of Moses) is the most well-known mountain in Egypt's Sinai Peninsula. According to the Bible, God came to Moses on this mountain and gave him the Ten Commandments.
The remnants of the Chapel of the Holy Trinity, built in 363 and completed in 530 under Emperor Justinian, can be discovered at the summit of the mountain. The antique clock stones were used to construct a modest mosque in 1934. It is situated above the cave where he spent the previous 40 days.
You'll be amazed to see what abysses and gorges there are around here when the darkness of the night turns blue, then blue, and the first ray of sunshine finally hits the sharp fangs. The temple of the Prophet Elijah with a well and the shrine of the Virgin Mary for Orthodox pilgrims is located in the north.
The foot is "guarded" by St. Catherine's Church. You will experience the rich history of this location, hear amazing stories about Moses' life, and discover many important Bible facts. An expedition to Mount Moses from Sharm el-Sheikh is more than just a vacation; it is a true immersion in history that will leave a lasting impression.
