Very well organized and...

Very well organized and many easy guides. There should be some physical preparation given that the course of 7kms is difficult.

Trip to St. Catherine

Me and my family took a trip to St. Catnerine Monastery. We started early in the morning from Cairo with a driver and a guide. The guys were very friendly, english speaking and knowledgeable. They also offered us some home made sandwiches as we didn't had the chance to take breakfast at the hotel, which was really nice and we thank them for that. Our van was very comfortable, air conditioned and clean. Overall, we had a great time and there is nothing negative i can think about the experience. I would highly recommend Sun Pyramid Tours to any traveller who is looking for a safe trip, easy communication and a lot of historical information.
