Monastery of George the Victorious

One hundred kilometers from Sharm el-Sheikh on Mount Sinai is the male Orthodox monastery of St. George. It dates back to the fifth century. Here are kept the relics of the Holy Great Martyr George. It was he who, according to legend, refused to convert to Islam, and was executed after prolonged torture. If you put on his collar, you automatically equate with martyrs, and this helps to heal from the disease. Millions of pilgrims flock here every year to do so. On the territory of the monastery there is a chapel, it presents the instruments of torture of the saint, the famous collar with which he was chained to a post. Every day at five in the morning Liturgy is held here. Cells are located around the temple, and behind them is a park with roses, palm trees, thuami. On the south wall of the monastery there is a fresco depicting St. George and two taps where you can collect healing water. You can get there by bus or with a tour, go for about an hour.
