For those who wish to climb Mt. Sinai, we wake up around midnight and travel to Moses Mountain, where a Bedouin guide accompanies us to climb the sacred mountain where Moses received the Ten Commandments. From the summit of the mountain, we can see the sunrise. Then descend and return to our hotel for breakfast and check out. Next, we visit St. Catherine Monastery, an ancient Orthodox Christian monastic complex considered one of the most famous religious sites in the world. The monastery was dedicated to St. Catherine, who was tortured to death for the sake of her new faith. Afterward, we depart for Cairo. Mass will be celebrated. Arriving in the early evening, we settle into our hotel for dinner and a well-deserved night of rest. Overnight in Cairo. (B.L.D)

Sunday, April 28, Day 13: ANCIENT CAIRO – DINNER CRUISE ON THE NILE
Today we travel back to ancient Egypt with a full day of touring the wonders of the ancient world, some of which date back to 1000+ years before Abraham. We explore Old Cairo to visit the Hanging Church – the most famous Coptic Church in Cairo – named so, as the Nile River built it over the Roman Gate of Babylon. During a walking tour of the old city, our guide will point out the route taken by Abraham, Joseph, Moses, and the family of Jesus – an inspiring thought. We stop at the Coptic Museum to better understand Christianity in Egypt and the Coptic Cathedral, where we see the relics of St. Mark. We celebrate Mass and have time to shop in the local Bazaar, which dates back to the 14th century. In the evening, we take a dinner cruise on the Nile River. Overnight in Cairo. (B.L.Special dinner)
