Sinai trip and meditation
Sinai is a peninsula bridging Africa and Asia, with some of the most beautiful mountain ranges and deserts in the world, encircled by the Red Sea and the Mediterranean.
From the shelter of our beautiful home, the Swisscare Nuweiba Resort Hotel, set on the spacious, sandy beaches of Nuweiba, we have the opportunity to discover at ease this magnificent land and its inhabitants, the Bedouin, who still follow in harmony the same ancestral tracks in quest of the essential; - respecting the nature for what it gives, and taking from it the little they need.
This harmony has fascinated us since times long passed, and today, as they are still living with the same genuine traditions and faith, we are privileged to receive from them, in this short journey, the tolerant hospitality that is part of their legend.
A visit to the Monastery of St. Catherine, perhaps, and, if you wish, a climb up to the top of Mount Sinai where Moses received the Ten Commandments, will give this special journey a taste of unforgettable well-being…
