Jordan seemed to be in stock too
Drive accordingly a little closer than from Sharm
There is nothing special to do in Ras Mohammed if you have been to the reefs, well, if only to see the Mangroves. And then - it's better to do it from Sharm - it's close to go there. And from Dahab - it's like going to Sharm back and forth. Meaning?

The groves (which are mangroves) are also nothing special. There are several bushes on the stream.
Well, they stand and stand.
The very fact that they make fresh water from salt water is not visually visible in any case.
Well, if you feel them ...)))
a bush like a bush

Be sure to visit the Colored Canyon!

if you choose between a canyon and a visit to the monastery of St. Catherine, then I am for the monastery
If there are no physical ailments, complaints, arthritis, you can make a foot ascent to Mount Moses. A very beautiful Milky Way - it's really clear why they called it that. The road is difficult only the last hour of the journey, because. steps (pieces 500)
And you can get there by camel.
Well, dawn. Dawn on Mount Moses is a beautyaaaa.....!

needyou, And when you visit the monastery of St. Catherine, do you need to climb a mountain? And why are you more for the monastery than for the canyon?
аватар ILYA-2009
I was in the monastery and in the canyon, I didn’t go to Mount Moses because I had to leave at night, climb up the mountain in the dark, and besides, I heard a lot of not very enthusiastic reviews from people who were not physically prepared for climbing. And especially downhill.
They bring you to the monastery by bus, it's a bit of a walk.
It is not always possible to get into the canyon due to sandy winds.
Descent and ascent is not particularly annoying. You walk 5 or 6 km and admire the beauties of the local nature.
The choice is yours!

monastery at the foot
so no need to climb
About what is prettier.
I agree, this is my subjective opinion))))
Let's just say I would recommend the monastery, if only because it is one of the oldest continuously operating Christian monasteries in the world.
Founded in the IV century (!). The fortified building was built by order of Emperor Justinian in the 6th century.
It was originally called the Monastery of the Transfiguration or the Monastery of the Burning Bush.
Since the 11th century, the monastery has been called the Monastery of St. Catherine.
It is included in the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

An inscription has been preserved above the main monastery gate: “From the foundation, this sacred monastery of Mount Sinai was erected, where God spoke to Moses, the humble king of the Romans Justinian, for the eternal commemoration of him and his wife Theodora. Finished after the thirtieth year of his reign. And an abbot named Dula was appointed in it in the year from Adam 6021, from Christ 527 "

Well, in general, the monastery itself makes, of course, an impression. Especially when combined with climbing.

and something else interesting
With the spread of Islam in Egypt (since the 7th century AD), a mosque appeared in the monastery, which has survived to this day.
Those. an Orthodox monastery, in which a mosque rises.
The Muslims themselves at one time undertook to protect the monastery, as stated by the letter of protection received by the monks (Firman Mohammed).
After the capture of Egypt by the Ottoman Empire (1517), the Turks also pledged not to interfere in the affairs of the monastery.
Very interesting place!
