World famous attractions and gems of Sinai Peninsula

The Monastery of St. Catherine: One of the oldest Christian monasteries in the world, St. Catherine's preserves a spectacular array of Christian works of art, including the second largest library of illuminated manuscripts after the Vatican.

Mount Sinai (or Mountain of Moses): Sacred to Muslims, Jews and Christians, Mount Sinai overlooks the Monastery of St. Catherine. At a height of 2285 meters, it is relatively easy to climb to the top, either on camEl caravans or up the Steps of Repentance, a set of about 3000 steps carved into the rock by monks. Exceptional views at sunset and sunrise.

The Colored Canyon: Evidence that Sinai was covered by water millions of years ago, the highwalled 'colored canyon' shows intriguing colored rock formations, the result of water erosion on the sandstone and limestone.

 

Ras Abu Galum National Park:
Complementing Nabq, further north lays the Abu Galum natural reserve, encompassing a stretch of craggy, granitic coastal mountains. Several sinuous wadis run down from the mountains of Abu Galum to the Red Sea, sheltering an abundance of both plant and animal life.

Over 20 Renowned Dive Sites around Sinai: Including the world - famous Ras Mohamed, a marine natural reseve and one of the most spectacular diving sites on the Red Sea.
