About the tour

An excursion to Mount Sinai monastery, also known as Mount Moses, offers a spiritual journey to the site where, according to biblical tradition, God gave Moses the Ten Commandments. At its base lies the Monastery of St. Catherine, one of the world’s oldest Christian monasteries, dating back to the 6th century. Remarkably preserved, it houses an invaluable collection of icons and manuscripts, rivaled only by the Vatican Library. The ascent to the mountain's peak is via the Camel Trail, culminating in the final 700 stone steps known as the Ladder of Repentance, traditionally climbed barefoot. Legend holds that witnessing dawn from the summit brings forgiveness of sins to all, regardless of faith or language.

Program

Our transfer service will pick you up at the hotel gate by bus around 7:00 PM.
From Sharm el Sheikh to Mount Sinai monastery - 230 km (2.30 hours on the road).
Our guide will explain all the details and the action plan.
After arrival you will be accompanied by a Bedouin guide, who will assist you during the climb and, if you wish, share insights about the rich Bedouin culture and traditions. The Sinai mountains and desert are their home, and they possess deep knowledge of the area.
A three-hour hike begins (from 11:30 PM to 5:00 AM) to the top of 2,285 m above sea level. The time was not chosen by chance. After a little rest after the ascent, you will see an incredible sunrise, which at the top of Mount Sinai Egypt is as beautiful as anywhere else. If the path is too much for you, you can rent a camel that will take you to the top of the stairs.
After descending from the Mount Sinai monastery, you will visit the Monastery of St. Catherine, which has been continuously working for 16 centuries.
Conclude your day with a return journey to Sharm el Sheikh, arriving back at your hotel around 2:00 PM.
