Excellent tour

Saman_P, Apr 2026

This was the best tour we had in Sharm. A really nice and well spoken guide who took the time to explain the history of St. Catherine and the surrounding areas. Also had a great lunch in Dahab right by the sea. We also had a great and safe driver adding to the mix.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Thank you so much for your kind feedback! We’re delighted to hear that you had the best tour in Sharm and enjoyed the guide, lunch in Dahab, and safe transportation. We truly appreciate your words and hope to welcome you again soon!

Visiting a beautiful monastery in Sinai

Pierre_D, Feb 2022

Saint Catherine's monastery tour was exceptional, with a short stop in Dahab. One regret : I visited it on a Friday (when the monastery is only open during one hour instead of 2.5 the rest of the week). A global remark : the price of the tour is quite expensive for a family but there is less possibilities to do it by your self.

Lovely tour.

Mohamed, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable, professional and efficient. Had lots of good stories and a vernacular English. Thank you. The tour is exactly what it proposes. The trip is tiring but worth it. The churches were unfortunately closed because of covid. We had some time in Dahab on the way back. Lovely row of unpretentious restaurants and lounges by the sea. Very agreeable. Had a very appropriate lunch , tasty and well served, in a very cozy restaurant by the sea. Decorated with a lot of odds and ends, which gives it a certain personality. Very nice, recommendable trip, nice organization and trustworthy agency.

Visite de Sainte-Catherine

Une guide merveilleuse avec laquelle nous avons passé un excellent moment. Culture, paysages, anecdotes, tout était rassemblé pour une visite au top. Quelques échanges avec des enfants bédouins. Je recommande.
