Simply the Best! While it may pose significant challenges for those of us less fit, the rewards are absolutely worth it. The assistance and guidance from the Bedouin guides make all the difference.
Mount Sinai A Journey Beyond Words Climbing Mount Sinai offers an experience that transcends spirituality; it's truly overwhelming. Watching the sunrise from the mountain is an experience beyond words! I highly recommend this trip to everyone. However, it's not an easy walk, so prepare yourself mentally and physically. But rest assured, reaching the top is worth every effort. Be sure to bring warm clothes with you, as it gets very cold at the summit. This journey is an unforgettable adventure that you won't want to miss!
Under the Moonlit Sky A Beautiful Nocturnal Trek Our nocturnal trekking adventure was nothing short of enchanting. The activity was well-organized, and our hotel pickup was punctual. Upon arrival at St. Catherine, we were introduced to our guidesβtwo for our group. While one had limited English proficiency, both demonstrated goodwill and ensured a smooth journey. We commenced our climb around 2 am, a journey that lasted approximately 3-4 hours. The path was technically easy, with a well-, trail leading to 700 steps. However, due to the diverse group paces, occasional waits were necessary along
Holy Journey, Unforgettable Experience I embarked on this sacred journey and was truly captivated by it. I highly recommend it to those in good physical condition. We arrived at 1:30 am and began our ascent around 2 am. The climb takes 3-4 hours, but the breathtaking views make it all worthwhile. Be prepared for the cold; I recommend bringing snow jackets as it can be very chillyβI was nearly freezing. We descended around 8:30 am and visited the monastery, where we saw the burning bush and the church. It was truly a super trip.

Journey to the Summit An Unforgettable Adventure Our trip was seamlessly organized from beginning to end. Prompt pickup from the hotel in a comfortable minibus, followed by a transfer to a spacious coach for the journey. However, taller individuals would have appreciated more legroom. Ehab, our guide, enlightened us with the history of Mount Moses as we departed around 10 pm. Despite a slight delay at the security checkpoint and a brief stopover at a service station, we reached St. Catherine's checkpoint around 1:15 am. Upon passing through security, our group of 40 was assigned two Bedouin gu
Ascending Sinai A Medium Climb with Unforgettable Views Our journey began with a hotel pickup at 8:15 pm, arriving at St. Catherine's by 1:30 am. After a 45-minute security check (note: avoid bringing binoculars as they will be removed), the climb commenced. It took three hours to reach the final stop, just 200 steps from the summit. The ascent covered 7.5km uphill, with an additional 500 challenging steps to the final cafΓ©, followed by another 200 steps to the top. Camels can be hired after the initial 2km. After the climb, we walked back down to the Monastery for a 30-minute tour. As a fit 5
