What you can expect

Watch sunrise from the top of Mount Sinai on a hiking trip from Sharm el Sheikh to one of Egypt’s highest mountains. You’ll climb the 7,497-foot (2,285-mt.) peak in the predawn darkness, see first light illuminate the mountaintop chapel and mosque, then descend to the 6th-century Monastery of St. Catherine built where Moses is believed to have seen the Burning Bush.

A three-hour ascent of 2,285 metres up the mountain with one of our guides leading the way. There are 700 steps you can take if you pursue a long journey.
