Itinerary

St. Catherine And Colored Canyon By Jeep

As dawn breaks, our agents will collect you from your hotel, setting the stage for an unforgettable exploration of the Sinai desert.
Your first destination is the Saint Catherine Monastery, nestled in the heart of the Sinai Peninsula at an elevation of 1570 meters. This sacred site, where God is said to have appeared to Moses in the Burning Bush, lies at the foot of Mount Sinai, the very place where Moses received the Ten Commandments.

The monastery, dating back to the 6th century, is a testament to the era of the Great Roman Emperor, Justinian I. Its imposing enclosure walls, built during this period, still stand today. The monastery is named after Saint Catherine, one of the earliest Christian martyrs, and its naming in the 11th century marks a significant moment in history.

After exploring the monastery, you’ll return to St. Catherine’s City for a delightful lunch.
Your adventure continues north of the monastery, where you’ll be captivated by the geological wonder of the Sinai - the Colored Canyon, also known as Salama Canyon.

Guided by a native Bedouin, you’ll marvel at the canyon’s narrow walls, towering 20 meters high and just over a meter wide. These sandstone walls boast an array of hues from dark brown to red to straw yellow, a spectacle caused by the presence of magnesium and iron oxides. Enjoy a refreshing cup of oriental tea as you take in the breathtaking views.

As your day of exploration concludes, we’ll ensure your comfortable return to your hotel. With Sun Pyramids Tours, every journey is a doorway to the past, filled with awe and wonder.
