カイロから - 一晩聖カタリナ修道院とシナイ山へ。

Outstanding experience! They reached out to us (repeatedly) about six months prior to our trip just to make sure we were in synch. Then, once in Cairo, it was a well organized and extremely comfortable and safe experience. Our assigned guide, Osama Gaama, was very knowledgeable and made certain that our entire trip was well planned. He simply cares, and he made certain to provide us with a great deal of fascinating insight into Egyptian culture. The Sinai is not your usual tourist adventure - with numerous checkpoints on the route - but Osama and Sun Pyramids worked everything out seamlessly. I don’t write reviews very often, but I’m making an exception for them!

The guide Marwan and driver Hisham were great! Very responsible, considering and attentive. They came on time to pick me up and explain things well. Made trip very enjoyable.

Great adventure from Cairo to St Catherine’s Monastery in Sinai . Overnight in accommodation with a start onto the mountain at midnight. Osama and driver from Sun Pyramid Tours really looked after us and our guide up and down the mountain (Ali) was a star. This trip is physically demanding but spiritually rewarding. A must do if you’re in Egypt. Many thanks again to Ali, Osama and driver. Sun Pyramid tours.

My dad and I wanted to end our time in Egypt with something truly special and we could not have chosen a better experience than the Mount Sinai sunrise hike, guided by the incredible Mohammed Italiano, and driven safely by Abdul Bakr. From the very beginning Muhammad was not just a tour guide, but a genuinely warm and pleasant companion. His deep knowledge, kind spirit and attention to detail made the journey, smooth, meaningful, and memorable. He insured we were comfortable and informed every step of the way, and his passion, for the region truly shines through. We also want to highlight Abdul, who was more than just a driver. He was a constant source of support throughout the trip. Always willing to lend a hand, Abdul made sure we were taken care of, offering refreshments at just the right moments, and bringing a sense of calm and hospitality that made the long journey even more enjoyable. The hike itself was a magical experience. Reaching the summit of Mount Sinai to witness sunrise over the Majestic Egyptian landscape, felt like one of the greatest fulfillment in life, serene, spiritual, and awespiring. If you are looking for a way to conclude your adventure in the Land of the Pharaohs on a deeply meaningful and unforgettable note, this is the tour you want. Trust me, you won’t regret it. Thank you Mohammed and Abdul for making this experience one we will cherish forever!

From online customer service to guides and driver, Sun Pyramids did a great job...we are please with the outcome of our visit to Egypt specially Mt.Sinai/St.Catherine...The guides and driver are very pleasant, and look after us very good until our tour was finished.We did not encounter any problems, the tour was very smooth. Thank you Sun Pyramids..hope to book with you again in the future.

They judge people with disabilities or mental delated before they even meet them. They assume they will be a problem for the tour. HORRIBLE. They asked as for a “sealed letter from the doctor stating our relative disability” . Of course we refused. Very discriminating agency. We choose another agency who never question our relative disability, they offer many accommodations for him.

My husband and I went for his birthday retreat in Cairo, Egypt. We used the Tifficss travel hub for advice on places to visit and where to explore Egypt. They were very informative. We took a trip to Mount Sinai, where we trekked from midnight to the mountains and hills over 2600 feet. It was challenging as we've never done this before. We had a fantastic tour guide, Mohab Ahmged, and our driver, Ahmed Hamama, who drove safely throughout our road trip. We also had another tour guide who supported us with the climb, he was also very helpful. Overall, they were kind and friendly. The guide explained the journey process, booked a one-day hotel at St Catherine, and provided food and drinks. The history evolved as we asked questions about Egypt. He was very patient with us, encouraging and understanding. We never dreamt of doing this adventure and thought it was fantastic. There were lots of us, which made it enjoyable. We rode the camels up to a certain point and then trekked 750 feet, which took us 3 hours. We never gave up despite the challenge. We made it just in time for the sunrise around 05:45. The most beautiful view we experienced was fulfilling. We prayed, cleansed ourselves and asked God our heart desires with a prayer request. Afterwards, we trekked down until we reached the Monastery for a tour. It was eye-opening and educative. What a wonderful, unforgettable experience. Thank you for making this day a memorable day.

It is recommended for all those people who believe they have sufficient physical conditions, because it takes approximately 3 hours to climb. My recommendation is that if you are going to do it, ask that your guide be Mohamed, this guy is the best, he is the best guide I have ever met, as well as the driver, whose name I believe is Ahmed. I wish all the guides were like the two of them, it was worth it!

We left Cairo early morning and loaded all of our luggage in a car. Even though the trip took about 5-6 hours, the car was comfortable and we had ample stops along the way. We passed by small towns, dry landscapes, numerous checkpoints but our guide Mohamed was very engaging and explained some history about the places we passed. Overall a safe trip going to St Catherine's. At St. Catherine's, we had lunch at a quaint restaurant and proceeded to rest in our hotel. Because we were still full, we decided to skip the dinner and just went to bed at 6 pm. After all, the plan was to get up at 11 pm to prepare for the climb. The car picked us up around 12 am and we proceeded to the based of Mount Sinai. It was cold but we had proper clothing. When we got to the location, we were flanked by local Bedouins selling items that we may potentially need during the climb and some offered camel rides in case we need extra help. We were briefed by our guide on things to do and not to do and we were joined by Moses and another Bedouin guide. As we began our ascent up the 7500 ft mountain, it became clear that we needed a flashlight, which I am glad our guide had prepared. It was pitch black so it's dangerous to climb without any lights. At the end of the first kilometer, we were exhausted and opted to hire some camels to conserve our energy for the last part of the climb. That was the best decision we made since it was fun riding the camels and we reached the next stop effortlessly. We reached the last part of the climb, the final 750 steps in an hour. As my wife and I climbed the 750 steps, we held on to our Bedouin guides. I notice the air getting thinner. We stopped by a yurt to rest for a couple hours and wait for the sunrise. We met many tourists from many countries in the yurt. After a couple of hours, we started climbing the last 100 steps and reached the summit of Mt Sinai just in time for the spectacular sunrise. The trip was totally worth it and I cannot thank our guides Moses and Mohamed enough for helping us during the climb and making the experience as comfortable as can be. We said prayers in the space where Moses apparently stayed while waiting for the 10 Commandments from God and then soaked ourselves with an amazing view of the sunrise. What an amazing and unforgettable experience!

This was a great trip to St Catharine's with my guide Okasha. It's quite a long drive (about 6 hours) from Cairo but Okasha ensured that there were sufficient rest stops along the way! Once in St Catharine's there is very little by way of stores, so make sure to take a packed lunch or some snacks to sustain you until dinner time. The climb of Mt Sinai began at around 2am, with an amazing guide Hosni, who knows those mountains extremely well. Watching the sunrise from the summit is indescribable and is simply amazing! It is definitely an experience worth enjoying. Unfortunately the monastery was closed and so I wasn't able to take a tour but summitting Sinai was worth every minute. I would definitely recommend this tour.
