Description
Tackling Mount Sinai by yourself can be tricky, so join this guided tour from Sharm el Sheikh. You'll leave in the evening to ensure you have time to climb to the summit in time to watch the sunrise. Afterward, descend to the 6th-century Monastery of St. Catherine, built where Moses is believed to have seen the burning bush.

you will then start the 3-hour climb of 2,285m up the mountain guided by one of our guides. You can climb by following a long path which leads to 700 steps. This takes you to the top of the mountain on time for the sunrise where you can enjoy a beautiful view. If you feel you can't climb the mountain you can get a camel ride that takes you to the 700 steps. After the sunrise, you will get down and take your vehicle back to sharm El Sheikh.

Long but rewarding. Our experience was excellent from the drive to the hike and all points in between. Be mindful that you have to have good cardiovascular fitness for this trip. It is not for the weak. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable and took great care. We felt safe the entire time and the only regrets I have it that I should have worn hiking shoes not trainers. It is a moderate hike in difficulty, add to that the lack of sleep and warm weather it made for quite a challenge. Our driver Mohamed and tour guide Zacharia were professional and tended to our needs. I wish we were at the summit long before sunrise to have a good rest before the descent, we seemed to have arrived late to the foot of the mountain. I don’t know if it is usual but the drive was unnecessarily long which delayed us with many stops and checkpoints but apparently necessary for tourists. Loved it and our pictures and memories will last a lifetime. Thank you for the experience ! If I am of good health I would come again. Don’t worry about June weather, it is breezy and cool at the summit and you are back in the air conditioned car by 10am
