Do you know about St. Catherine monastery story?

Question

Do you know also if it'll be closed between 1st and 6th October. Are there any tickets now to visit the monastery?

- Do you know also about entrance fees for RAS Mohamed

Answer 1

the story of the Monastry is that when Israel occupied Sinai, the priests closed the gates , and remained behind them.

they were self sufficient , and didnt ask for anything outside the gates .

the Israeli left them alone .

it is closed between  1st  and 6th bec the priests are praying , dedicated to prayer thanking God for their safety which came with the 6th October War .

a car carrying  2 persons pays  LE 30 to be allowed to Ras Mohamad ,

but a tourist pays more , $ 5  or  about Euro 4 .

actually , i always go on a boat in a cruise .

Answer 2

Why do you mention " RAS " this way ?

mistake ?,

Now you'll say : "NO it isn't me, it is my keyboard" ...

Answer 3

Hey WB wise heart,

About yr second q, the last time i visited Ras Mohamed the entrance fee for tourist was about $ 5 or around euro 3.5.

As for Egyptians it was LE 5 and the car LE 20.

I have no clue about the first q though.

Answer 4
