Description
We will pick you up from your hotel in Sharm El Sheikh at 10:30 pm in our modern, private air-conditioned vehicle to drive you on a 3-hour journey to St. Catherine's Monastery at Mount Sinai's base. Your climb up the mountain of Moses begins at 2:00 am to catch the sunset in this most monumentous experience, and return down the mountain afterwards at 7:00 am.
We will then continue our pilgrimage to visit St. Catherine's Monastery, considered to be one of the most famous and oldest monasteries in the world. It was dedicated to one of Alexander's rulers, Saint Catherine, who was tortured to death for the sake of her new Christian faith.
Afterwards, we will find lunch and respite in Dahab at a local restaurant, with time for shopping at this special place by the sea too.
Once your appetite for food, shopping and sightseeing has been satiated, we will return you back to your hotel in Sharm El Sheikh.

Great Tour for Solo Traveler
Mohamed was my driver and tour guide and Akmed was my local guide at Sinai. They did a great job! Mohamed picked me up at 10pm from my hotel in Sharm El Sheik. We drove ~3 hours through a few checkpoints and arrive at Sinai at 1am. From there, we all hiked up for 3 hours (7 kms) while going at a moderate pace. There are rest stops about every kilometer with water, coffee, and snacks. The last kilo was very steep but not horrible. The view at sunrise was incredible!! Highly recommend Mohamed as a tour guide.
