About this activity

Embark on an unforgettable hiking trip from Sharm el Sheikh to the top of Mount Sinai, one of Egypt's most iconic and revered peaks. Your adventure begins in the predawn darkness, where you'll ascend the 7,497-foot mountain, following the same path pilgrims have taken for centuries. As you reach the summit, you'll be greeted by the breathtaking sight of the sun rising over the rugged desert landscape, casting a golden glow across the mountaintop chapel and mosque. This peaceful moment of spiritual reflection and natural beauty makes the climb a truly unique experience.

After witnessing the sunrise, descend from the mountaintop to visit the 6th-century Monastery of St. Catherine, located at the foot of the mountain. The monastery is historically significant, as it is built at the site where Moses is believed to have encountered the Burning Bush. As you explore, you'll have the chance to admire centuries-old Christian art and relics, gaining insight into the rich religious history of the area. The trip includes convenient round-trip transport from Sharm el Sheikh, making it a perfect choice for those with limited time. For added comfort, you can opt to ride a camel for most of the journey. This remarkable trip offers an unparalleled combination of adventure, spirituality, and cultural discovery.
