3 Hiking & Trekking Tours in Egypt Worth Booking

1.Mount Moses Trekking, Sunrise & Monastery Visit

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 698 reviews · 17 hours · from $50Our pick

Leave Sharm El Sheikh at night for a guided climb of Mount Sinai, reaching the 2,285-meter summit before sunrise. Bedouin guides assist on the trail, while an Egyptologist leads the monastery visit. Expect a hard 7-kilometer ascent, cold wind at the top, basic facilities, and a long return day.

“The description of what is excluded needs to be updated when it comes to non-hotel services. They will give you a meeting point for pick up and drop off, not directly to your accommodation. The guide for the hike itself, walks very fast so the trip going up the mountain will not be at your own pace. Other than that, a beautiful experience. Definitely a must do!”

2.Full-Day Hike Tour at St. Catherine’s Monastery

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 23 reviews · from $33Best value

Leave Dahab at 10 pm for a guided night hike up Mount Sinai. Reach the summit for sunrise, then visit St. Catherine’s Monastery and the Chapel of the Burning Bush. Private transport, guide, entrance fees, and an air-conditioned vehicle are included. Dinner is not.

“Guida molto simpatica, ma si può organizzare meglio l’escursione. Sono venuti a prenderci molto tardi e non si sapeva se fosse cancellata o no. Siamo arrivati in vetta troppo presto, secondo me si può arrivare un po’ più tardi e non stare 2 ore al freddo ad aspettare l’alba.”

“Litizia Litizia hat sich sehr viel Zeit genommen uns den Zauber der Wüste etwas näher zu bringen. Fern ab vom Massen Tourismus hatten wir einen unvergleichliches und Spannendes Erlebnis. Das beste war wir waren auf der Tur ganz alleine und konnten uns voll und ganz auf die Wüste Konzentrieren. Vielen dank wir würden es wieder machen War wirklich herausfordernd aber es hat sich gelohnt. sich sehr”
