Schmidt was a keen traveller; between 1861 and 1870 he travelled to Turkey, Palestine, Egypt, the Ionian Islands, Italy and England.
Saint Catherine's Monastery in Sinai in Egypt was founded by Emperor Justinian I in 548 and building ended in 565. The Greek Orthodox monastery still stands today and is one of the oldest active monasteries in the world.
