About this activity

This Mt. Sinai Climb and St. Catherine Tour starts with a stress-free pickup in Sharm el Sheikh. Once your guide picks you up, sit back and relax as the ride to the mountain can take around three hours.

Your first stop is near Mt. Sinai, the place where Moses was given the 10 commandments. A guide leads the way as you climb your way to its summit. After you climb the path to the top, take in sunset views from the top. (If you don’t think you’re in good enough shape to climb, you can opt for a camel ride up instead.)

Once you come back down, pop into St. Catherine with your guide to see the church before getting back on your vehicle for the transfer back to Sharm el Sheikh.

Itinerary

We will pick you up from the evening to ensure The climb to the top of Mount Sinai starts at night and takes about 750 steps to reach the summit. It takes around 4 hours. At the summit, you can enjoy the panoramic view of sunrise. After we will descend towards St. Catherine Monastery it takes about 2-3 hours. We will stay around 2 hours on a monastery tour, The monastery has a mosque built in the eleventh century and an Orthodox Greek monastery within its walls that rests a citadel like no other, incredibly rich in important religious and historical structures. Inside the church also are boxes that contain the body of Saint Catherine. In addition, on the other side of the church, you can find the holy valley, which is considered the most holy area in Sinai. In this place, God ordered prophet Moses to “off your shoes because you stand in the holy land”. After that we will go back to the hotel in about 1 PM.
