Sharm El Sheikh Hotels: The Best Biblical Attractions
Egypt’s holiday resorts seem to grow in popularity year after year as Europeans seek the sun in destinations with year round sunshine and the best possible facilities. Sharm el Sheikh hotels are the focal point for trips to the Red Sea coast but other resorts have sprung up in places like Hurghada further south.
Mountain treks are popular for those seeking interesting excursions from their hotels in Sharm el Sheikh. Holidaymakers can also book excursions to Sinai’s most visited historical site, St Katherine’s Monastery which is said to have been built beside the burning bush God used to speak with Moses. The monastery dates back to 330AD but has changed dramatically over the centuries.
Visitors who are willing to travel further away can book excursions to neighbouring Israel, the Holy land. As one can imagine Israel is packed with sites that are of biblical interest and a trip to Jesus’ home town Nazareth is rather interesting. There are various sites that claim to have been significant to Jesus and other central characters from the Bible such as the Basilica of annunciation, a church reputed to have been built where the Virgin Mary’s home had stood.
The Dead Sea is surrounded by a wealth of interesting sites such as Sodom, and whilst there holidaymakers can float and pose for photographs.
An holidaymakers travelling from their Sharm el Sheikh hotels into Israel should make sure that they visit Jerusalem. The historic city contains many sites that are significant to those following the Abrahamic religions and in the west these include the dome of the rock and al-Aqsa mosque, whilst visitors will find that the Armenian, Christian, Jewish and Muslim quarters all contain their fair share of history.
