Sharm El Sheikh Trip Overview
They will then travel to St. Catherine, which usually takes about 3 hours. Obviously the Burning Bush is the holiest part of the monastery and a place that has been beautified in centuries of history. The tour includes a look at the church of St. Catherine, which contains many works of art and mosaics. The monastery’s library (second only to the Vatican) has many manuscripts and scrolls that you will not find anywhere else in the world. You will also see the bell tower with 9 bells and the fountains of Moses, connected to an underground spring. You will see the “monk cells” on the inside of the defensive wall of the monastery, the Fatimid Mosque and outside the walls the well-kept gardens and cemetery.
Then we move to Dahab to enjoy the delicious lunch taken at a restaurant in Dahab, which is a small town different from Sharm

Itinerary
A must for all historians, one of the oldest Christian monasteries in the world. A World Heritage Center due to its importance for three major religions. There is so much to see and do here, and since the convent closes daily for prayers at 12:00, an early start is required. A quick read before this trip is a good way to make sure you get the most out of your limited time.
