You’ll enjoy lunch at a local restaurant before visiting the monastery.


Arriving at St. Catherine’s you'll have a guided tour that includes viewing what is believed to be Moses' Burning Bush, a visit to the chapel where you can admire a lovely collection of icons and jeweled crosses and a stop at the Library Museum which houses an impressive collection of precious books and manuscripts.
