Long unfriendly procces in the border and the heat in the summer
In a nutshell
The place to go to experience a real Egyptian or Arabian beach destination - away from the hustle and bustle of those large, impersonal, international resorts !
The Monastery of St Catherine - 10 (The Motel)
K.Knight Says: Approx 10 minutes from the monastery is a very comfortable, and well priced, motel. Nestled at the foot of Mount Sinai, in a small valley, this is the perfect place to base yourself for a visit to the monastery. The cool waters of the pool is welcoming enough but the well...
The Monastery of St Catherine - 9. (Charnel House)
K.Knight Says: After you leave the burning bush, take the path to the Charnel House. The house is situated above the garden area, near the café.Some may find the Charnel house gruesome as it is the final resting place for thousands of Monks skulls from days gone by. Housed behind a simple...
The Monastery of St Catherine - 8. (Burning Bush)
K.Knight Says: Within the walls of the Monastery of St Catherine there is a bush that is said to be growing from a single clipping of “The Burning Bush” that instructed Moses to lead the Israelites out of Egypt and into the Promised Land.Anne and I can be seen here standing under this...
The Monastery of St Catherine - 7. (The hand!!!!)
K.Knight Says: The Burning Bush Chapel houses a rather “different” religious icon! The hand of St Catherine is said to be here! House in a plush box you will see a jeweled weather beaten hand that is remarkably preserved in some areas, while other areas have the skeleton clearly showing.St...
The Monastery of St Catherine - 6. (Chapel)
K.Knight Says: Special dispensation is usually required to enter the Burning Bush Chapel, but the Chapel was open on the day that we were there…and we simply walked in.The chapel is decorated with walls of blue mosaics that have religious iconic painting on every wall. The simple alter...
The Monastery of St Catherine - 5. (Moses well)
K.Knight Says: The monastery of St Catherine is also said to be the place that Moses met his wife.After Moses fled from the Pharaoh and his “cronies,” Moses entered the Sinai desert and made his way to this monastery. He met his future wife at the well and worked for her father. Moses...
The Monastery of St Catherine - 4. (Old entrance)
K.Knight Says: The elevated entrance was once the only entrance to the monastery of St Catherine but it is no longer used as the local monks cut a new entrance into the protective walls quite some time ago. Even so, you still get a sense of how hard it would have been to get into the...
The Monastery of St Catherine - 3. (Camel ride)
K.Knight Says: If you do not feel like walking the path to the monastery, you have the option of taking a camel ride.Located at the start of the track, the camel handlers will attempt to extract as much cash from you as humanly possible! They will advise you that their camel is a Ferrari,...
The Monastery of St Catherine.
K.Knight Says: Situated approx. 90 kilometers from Nuweiba, the Monastery of St Catherine is known as: • The oldest continuously inhabited monastery in the world. • The place where Moses is reported to have witnessed the “burning bush”• The smallest diocese in the world.The monastery is...
The Monastery of St Catherine - 2. (The Souq)
K.Knight Says: Just about everywhere you go in Egypt, you are met with the stalls and shops whose owners almost “expect” you leave with a memento that you purchased from their shop!When you first arrive at the car park you must walk past these shops to get to the ticket booth, café and...
wilocrek Says: The town of Nuweiba is extremely small and basic, there are a couple of places to eat and several markets. By the port of Nuweiba they have a ATM and a few more stores to stock up with groceries during your stay in Nuweiba. The best places to eat are generally at the...
wilocrek Says: The beaches of Nuweiba are perfect for those who want solitude and sand with an incredible view. The red sand dune beaches are largely free of tourists and in most cases you will have them to yourself. The views are priceless, in one sweeping glance you can see out into the...

Sharon Says: In Nuwieba you will not find any night life, There is no fancy or big restaurants, No cinemas or malls or even normal buildings, Its just desert with very small populated area. The greatest thing in Sinay is to be on the beach at night, there is no electricity, or anything...

flynboxes Says: If you enter via ferry from Aqaba they will pull your passport when you board the ferry and you will have to pick it up once you arrive at the Custom's office. When I was there the ferry was a bit late the office was closed for dinner so we ended up waiting a bit. Being...

blackrainbow86 Says: There are no tips warning anybody about the 'fast boat' trip from Nuweiba to Aqaba. Please read!! I did this trip in July 2008.There are 2 boats that leave each day. However, these are not time tabled so you can be waiting literally all day before you leave. 12pm - Our mini...

Gateway to The Monastery of St Catherine.
Some may find the Charnel house gruesome as it is the final resting place for thousands of Monks skulls from days gone by. Housed behind a simple wire fence, it appears that a skeleton of a dark robed...
