Meet your Sinai guide and driver; then via motorcoach enjoy a tour of Sharm El Sheikh including the Old Bazaar. Transfer to your hotel and spend the remainder of the day at leisure along the Red Sea. Overnight in Sharm El Sheikh.

Day 2 - Day at Leisure

The Sinai Peninsula is a triangular wedge protruding into the north end of the Red Sea and offers a rugged and dramatic terrain. The endless, shifting dunes of the desert and the craggy granite peaks, along with miles of gorgeous beaches, coral reefs and shelves, give the Sinai Peninsula enormous diversity. Sinai is ancient and storied, known to many as the setting for the book of Exodus. Located at the tip of Sinai, Sharm El Sheikh is now one of the world’s most accessible resort destinations for snorkeling and scuba diving. Ninety meters (295 feet) of vertical reefs are home to an astonishingly abundant marine world, much of it unique to these waters. Today take the opportunity to go scuba diving, snorkeling, for a jeep ride in the desert to experience the majestic mountains, shop in the nearby markets or simply relax on the beach. There’s something for everyone in this luxurious resort town! Overnight in Sharm-el-Sheikh.

Day 3 - Optional Tour of Mt. Sinai • St. Catherine’s Monastery

For the hale and hearty this optional trip will start just before midnight. A motorcoach will take you to Mount Sinai ― the traditional site of where Moses received the “Ten Commandments.” Climbing up the mountain will take about two hours and may be done in part by riding a camel. When you have reached the summit, you can see the sun rising in the east. After descending the mountain, you will visit the ancient monastery of St. Catherine, which is located on the foot of the Mount Sinai. This afternoon, return to the hotel and the other guests. Farewell overnight in Sharm El Sheihk.

Day 4- Transfer to Amman • Aqaba • Cairo • Eilat

Transfer to the Sharm El Sheikh airport for return flight(s, take a speedboat to Aqaba or drive to either Cairo or the border crossing at Taba to enter into Israel.
