    Me and my husband always try to visit holy places and the monastery is one of them. I don’t know how we managed to create this tradition but I enjoy it pretty much! The Saint Catherine monastery isn’t something you see in other monasteries. I don’t want to spoil the details, you have to visit it yourself. All I can say it’s a wonderful excursion and I hope more people will choose to visit it instead of lying on the beach all day!
