  Responisble Travel   -   Historical Pilgrimage to the Desert Lands of the Old Testament
Over the years this has proven to be of our most popular journeys. Following the traditional route of the Exodus we travel from the tip of the Sinai peninsula up into the Western mountain range and on to Mt Sinai finishing in the Eastern sandstone desert. As well as being closely associated with the Old Testament, Sinai was an important centre for early Christianity.
The journey encompasses historical sites including chalcolithic tombs, inscriptions of the Ancient Egyptians, and of course St Catherine's Monastery (one of the treasure houses of early Christian art). We finish the journey on a two day camel trek with the Bedouin.
