Sharm El Sheikh to Mount Sinai Hike and St Catherine Monastery

Sharm El Sheikh to Mount Sinai & St. Catherine's Monastery

Begin the Hike: Your ascent begins around 2:00 AM. Accompanied by your expert Bedouin guide, you will start the 2-3 hour climb up the mountain path. The cool night air makes for ideal hiking conditions. A Magical Sunrise: Reach the summit in time to find a spot and watch in awe as the first light of day breaks over the dramatic mountain ranges of the Sinai Peninsula. The view from the top, where a small chapel and mosque stand, is a truly spiritual and panoramic experience. Descent: After the sun has fully risen and you've taken plenty of photos, you will begin your descent back to the base.

Explore the Treasures: Your guide will lead you through this ancient complex.
Key sights include: The Church of the Transfiguration: The heart of the monastery.
The Chapel of the Burning Bush: Believed to be located on the site where God spoke to Moses.
Moses' Well: A natural spring where Moses is said to have met his wife.

Following your visit, you will board your air-conditioned vehicle for the drive back to your hotel in Sharm el-Sheikh, arriving in the afternoon.
