Morgenland Village courtyard at golden hour beneath the Sinai mountains

Saint Catherine · South Sinai · Egypt

A mountain village where the desert keeps its silence

Morgenland Village welcomes travellers, pilgrims and hikers to the high desert of Saint Catherine — stone lodging, Bedouin hospitality and the oldest landscape in the world.

The village

Built from the same granite as the mountains around it

Set at roughly 1,600 metres above sea level, Morgenland Village is a low-rise tourist village of stone bungalows, shaded courtyards and open-air terraces. Days are bright and dry, nights are cool and full of stars.
