Pics: Stop at El-Tor on the way to Sharm

CAIRO -19 September 2017: On your way to Sharm El-Sheikh, you will be surprised by a small village named Mount El-Tor. The village is less than an hour before you arrive at the Red Sea resort.



There are four hotels located in the heart of this natural beauty at the sea. There are also many cafes and restaurants with a sea view and breeze, according to Best Places Egypt Facebook page.



The hotels and restaurants of the tiny village overlook Mount Sinai, better known as Mount Moussa, Mount Moses and Moses Spring. You can take a refreshing dip and also benefit from the sulfuric water that flows from a nearby mountain.



The prices are incredibly affordable; it costs only LE 100 ($5.6) a night in most hotels.


Furthermore, you can hike Mount Moses for sport or spiritual purposes. It has an easy trail, except perhaps for the 1,000 steps leading to the summit. At its foothill, there is the beautiful St. Catherine Monastery, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
