The Chapel of the burning bush is considered the holiest place in the Monastery. This is the only bush of itīs species in the whole of the Sinai peninsula. Many attempts have been made to transplant a branch to another place, but every time the branch has died! |
|  | Moses Well Could still pump some water many thousands Years later! |
Toilets You are not allowed to use this toilet, You have to use the toilets on the opposite side and pay a pound - of course! | | |
| | Another old well |
The garden | | |
| | An old Chapel |
Lighting a candle in S:t Catherines Basilica I dont know if it is a custom to light a candle or if the man (a local - not a priest) cheated us - 10 Le for a candle - of course!
If You want to see all the Icons in a special room - 50 Le/person - of course.
They really need all the money they can get to keep up the work and so on with the Monastery. | | |
| | Camelride back to the Checkpiont at the entrance You have to pay about 15 Le for a single ride, but itīs a nice - try it |
