Top 4 Mount Sinai & St Catherine Tours

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!”
