    Tips

    March 9, 2023

    On the sides of the mountains that border the monastery of Sainte-Catherine, take a little height to offer you the leisure of a wide panorama on the religious building.

    Far from the hustle and bustle of the crowd, you can rest there while admiring this majestic construction.

      The monastery is usually visited on the way back from Mount Sinai. The building itself has a huge and interesting history. Inside, we can see the wells of Moses and the famous burning bush.

        The oldest continuously operating monastery in the world. Be sure to check out the museum for some ancient icons
