Nestles

We climbed uphill with the Red Sea on the left and on the right the rugged mountains of Sinai, at the heart of which nestles the monastery.

It is a forest of vineyards surrounded by tier upon tier of majestic mountains, that rise higher and higher, until they are lost to sight among the clouds, and in the centre of the mass of greenery, on the banks of the blue river, nestles the little town.
