This guesthouse right next to St Catherine’s Monastery offers well-kept rooms surrounding a pleasant courtyard where a cafe offers filling and tasty meals. Make sure to ask for a mountain-view rather than a courtyard-view room. Note that the guesthouse was temporarily closed during our last visit so make sure to phone ahead to check it's open and to make a reservation.
