Looking for an Escape?

Times can be tiring, so many responsibilities and expectations that have to be done and met. But we have to hit pause, recharge, and carry on. 

Sometimes all we need is a trip to recharge our batteries, let go of our responsibilities, and immerse ourselves in a spiritual escape when offered, and indeed it is offered through the trip down the Sinai Peninsula's Mount Sinai and Saint Catherine's Monastery!

Escape reality and begin the spiritual climb up to Mount Sinai, Moussa Mountain, or Mount Horeb, however, you choose to call it. The Mountain itself is a significant spiritual place for all 3 Abrahamic religions known today as Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. It’s perceived as the place where the Prophet “Moussa”, peace be upon him, Moses received the Ten Commandments from God, the site of Moses' encounter with the Burning Bush, and as mentioned in the Quraan, recognizing its role in Moses' prophethood and his receipt of divine revelation.

The Mountain is a granite peak rising to approximately 2,285 meters (7,497 feet) above sea level, and the view from its peak is healing to the soul, as you watch the sunsets and sunrises as if they were made just for you. The rays of sunlight on the desert sand, with the breeze of winds hitting your face as you absorb the scenery, and forget all your worries in the magical scenery unfolding. 

After descending from the climb, you get to visit the UNESCO World Heritage site of Saint Catherine's Monastery. Its real and actual name is the “Sacred Monastery of the God-Trodden Mount Sinai”. The Site is packed with significance and soothing vibes as the monastery encompasses multiple structures, such as the Church of the Transfiguration of Christ the Savior, which itself contains nine smaller churches, a Fatimid mosque from the 12th century AD, and the world's most valuable collections of ancient manuscripts and codices, second only to the Vatican Library, among other fascinating structures and findings that you must see for yourself.

The trip will be worth it with all its decentralizing and going back to the spiritual world to ease the soul. Book the trip and feel for yourself!
