Egypt - Sinai Tour [10 days]

The Sinai Peninsula is a great triangle of land with long coasts, high granite mountains, deep chasms and fertile green oases. It has its fascinating history, holy places and unique beauty. One of the natural wonders of Sinai, the Coloured Canyon, is awe-inspiring. Take a walk in between dramatic sandstone canyon walls streaked with melting yellows, purples, reds, magentas, and gold. Mount Sinai, just south of the Monastery of St Katherine, has great religious significance for Jews, Christians and Muslims. The climb takes about three hours but the view from the top is truly breathtaking, especially at sunrise. [scroll down for tour details]
