At st catherine's monastery I saw the most amazing sight on my whole holiday, and it wasn't under the sea...it was the biblical burning bush. Just captivating, really worth the trip to the monastery alone.

St. Catherine's Monastery, we joined an organised tour that picked us up from our hotel.

Not a short trip but so rewarding, my sister and I went here on a private tour and it was amazing. The church is fabulous, the 6th century mosaics are great, and then there's the icons and the really old christian manuscripts, either one worth the trip alone.

A good 3 hours outside sharm, but worth it!
