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]
