** Hotels in the area of Ras Sudr such as St. Catherine New Morgenland Hotel are LOW standard accommodations. To fully enjoy Mount Sinai, having access to a hotel closeby for rest is beneficial. The hotel chosen is the best available in the area, and within budget. We do not wish for the group to travel on the coach for long periods of time in the Sinai desert, without a private room to refresh and rest.
