Good hike and overall good experience. There were lots of breaks taken only thing is that my bus driver didn’t come on time for pickup. And monastery was a bit small tour than I expected. Other than that the experience was good by meeting new people.

Sinai Mountain
One of the most magical places to go to and Sun Pyramids made it very special too with the guide tour and Bedouin who were incredible and they helped my parents with riding the camel because they are old and cant do the hiking and i cant describe how much they were helpful and amazing there. My parents felt comfortable and we really thank them. For me the hiking was amazing and the bedouin was with me the whole time making sure that I’m okay and when we arrived to the top mountain, he guide us with the best view and place to stay in till sunrise. Thank you all for the beautiful day!

Museum of icons of the monastery of Sainte-Catherine: a jewel in a sumptuous setting!
One can only be amazed at such treasures, perfectly preserved and enhanced.

Great location, poor tour company.
3 star entirely due to staff
Location is 5 star. Amazing experience. Beautiful.
Hike is challenging, but camel would be good alternative and reasonable - 10USD for entire 3 hour time.
Views are amazing.
Too is cold, get the blanket (200EGP)!
Our tour provider didnt follow their own instructions on pick up. Wasted 15 min and caused everything after to be rushed.
Vehicle did not inspire confidence.
Do not take a tour without motor coach. We had airporter, uncomfortable, no power, no facility.
Staff almost lost one of our group.
Staff discouraged shopping in monastery and pushed a commercial stop in morning that was far more expensive.
I would do trip again, but avoid this tour company.

Nice sunrise - miserable bus tour
Bad rating because the bus ride was miserable.
We were picked up first, but then had to spend 2 hours (!) picking up the other passengers. From here it took 3.5 hours to drive to the mountain (including 15-20 minutes).
We drove in a small minibus from the 80s with a cooling system (but the nozzles from which the air came did not always work...). There was room for 22 in the bus and it was full. In addition, the seat was narrow. I am 1.75 m tall and my knees were squeezed up from the front seat. Honestly, it seemed that it had been attempted to maximize earnings at the expense of passengers.
The trip up the mountain takes place in two parts: First an unmarked grass path (3/4 of the road) and then a hard, steep “stairs” chopped into the mountain (1/4 of the road). It is dark and sometimes smooth - so be careful. Security is non-existent! Bring a headlamp!
There are small shops on the way up, where you can buy drinks and chocolate bars (e.g. twix etc.).
The sunrise is really beautiful.
The monastery is fine enough, but nothing special. Our guide was most busy getting us through so we could drive home again.
Without the bus trip out and home I would give the experience 4/5 stars - for the trip up the mountain is hard!

Trip which could be better organised
The communication about the programme was poor. The guide became rude when we informed that we did not fave torch and fad not organised breakfast. He charged £20 in local restaurant for breakfast which consisted of a few pieces of tomato, cucumber a stale bread with cheese and cup of coffee. The trip through saint Kathrine monastery was quick finishing in less than 10 minutes and when I insisted on going through the museum I was charged $5 and then 5 minutes through the museum as he was worried to miss the convey and asked us to spend $2 on taxi to reach the coach. Then we left without convey.
Earlier the trip to mount senai was extremely disappointing with no facilities and I wil suggest Viator to visit public toilets as I saw distressed people.
The whole trip was enjoyable as it was on my buck list but it left me with the impression that we were to be fleeced on every step. The guide who accompanied us to the mountain Senaie was excellent and gentle soul. I strongly recommend Musa.
This trip us not got faint hearted.

Hello Iftikhar,
Thanks for letting us know about your experience. Your feedback means a lot to us and helps us continue to improve.
In the tour description we put some useful tips to make your trip more comfortable, such tips as “Take drinks and snacks. The prices on the mountain are "touristic". We are grieved that you came across that.
As for time limits, we have a police convoy going with the group to mount and back, They put for us a tidy schedule. On the way back we were late for convoy and started to move towards Sharm without it.
No matter what we are so delighted to know that you had a memorable hike with our bedouin guide Musa . Surely , all your comments will be shared with the team.
Again, thank you for your feedback.
Hope to see you back soon to Egypt to deliver a better experience next time.

The BEST trip you will do in Sharm
The best trip ever. So worth it. It's a long 16 hrs but so so worth going. The guide was amazing. You feel so proud of achieving getting to the top. Pick up was on time. We had a few stops on the way and got to the base at about 01.45 a steady walk up, stopping at little cafes run by locals on the way up. The option for a camel can be taken at any time. It gets so cold so wrap up but you can rent a blanket for the top. The view was amazing. I'm not religious so my trip was just for the sunrise. I highly recommend doing this. This trip has made an otherwise terrible holiday a great memory. On the way down you do encounter local kids begging, or just demanding you give them food or your clothing. So I would say take warm clothes you are happy to give away because it gets hot walking down and you get less to carry. Absolutely bloody brilliant. You will never see a sunrise like it.

Definitely recommend, the tour company was very communicative and responsive ahead of time, letting us know what we needed to pack and bring with us. The hike itself was tough, but there were plenty of breaks provided which really helped. It can get cold at the top so definitely take warmer clothing and coats. It’s a long trip overall so be prepared, but the views are absolutely worth it.

An epic adventure
The level of difficulty is under played in this 16 hour adventure of an excursion. It is excellent yet the hike up the mountain is not for the faint hearted or unfit. The sunrise is spectacular, the hike guide good and sensible. The drive to and from the hike is about 3 hours with stops. Our driver drove at 140kmph and frequently took and made calls, as well as texted whilst driving. Facilities are limited, for those that may need, take a roll of paper.
