St. Catherine's Monastery

St. Catherine's monastery, inside the walls. This is near the Moses well.

St. Catherine's monastery, Moses well. It was almost impossible to get any halfway clear shot of this one. Too many people. Sorry...

St. Catherine's monastery, inside the walls I guess this might be for the Muslims to wash before prayer

St. Catherine's monastery, two of the many crosses

St. Catherine's monastery, inside the walls Close quarters

St. Catherine's monastery, church tower and Minarett

(Click on the pics to see them bigger)

Like I mentioned before, we got rushed through this like crazy.
At most spots there were so many people that I could take only a quick, blurry snap or odd angles.

I hope you enjoy nonetheless.

In the near future I will make a page with all shots and some Info about the place.
Today, I’m just too lazy

Schade, dass man die schönen Plätze immer mit so vielen teilen muss, aber so ist das eben. Trotzdem finde ich es gut, dass du dir das anguckst. Schönes Wochenende euch, herzlichen Gruß, Ingrid

Why did you have to rush? Too little time or what?
Pics are fine to get the idea!
Have a great day! :wave:

Suggestion.
Would it be possible to have here follow up by email your comments?
It would increase the interaction. Email is so EASY, it comes and I could 'hop hop' in immediately if I'd like to ask/say something more...Possible? Comment feed I don't like, sorry.

That must have been frustrating, to not have time to really soak up the history and complexity of this place!

Looks like wonderful history to explore, too bad they rushed you through.

But gorgeous shots anyway. I love the tower.

So, sight-seeing in Sharm el Sheik is not about your enjoyment, but about the guides running as many paying customers through as quickly possible? Charming.

Nevertheless, you did a great job with these snaps. I definitely got enough of a glimpse that I wish to see more.

@Ingrid - es ist auf jeden Fall einen Besuch wert gewesen

@Kvelli - mehr ist unterwegs

@BLOGitse - yes, we were running late since we took off too late thanks to the great organization, sigh
Have sent an email about the subscription thing.

@Dirk - ich frag mal auf unserem Markt hier, alles was die dort verkauft haben, waren Buecher, Steine, Glas und Klamotten

@Dan - it was. We almost couldn't get into the museum / Library thanks to that.
And they tried to kick us out early since they close at 12.30

@Ballerina Girl - yes, sometimes I would love to yell that too

Did you see the Minaret behind the church tower?

@Lisa - it was sad indeed, especially the inside of the church would have been worth getting looked at in more detail

@quilly - you hit it right on the head!

Thanks, Scriber

Thanks, Lou

I love inside the wall and the church tower picture. I can even see the bird flying near the tower, beautiful
