Overview

The Mount Sinai Sunrise Hike offers an unforgettable experience where you can ascend to the top of this iconic mountain. Rising 2,285 meters above sea level, the trek takes you through ancient paths and steps, bringing you to the site where Moses received the Ten Commandments. As the sun rises over the desert, the beauty and tranquility of the surroundings create a spiritual atmosphere. Capture stunning panoramic views and watch the sun light up the mountain range in an awe-inspiring display of colors.

After your descent from Mount Sinai, take time to visit the famous St. Catherine’s Monastery. This UNESCO World Heritage site is the oldest continuously operating Christian monastery in the world.

Your tour begins with a comfortable pick-up from your hotel in Sharm El Sheikh, where you’ll be driven in an air-conditioned vehicle to Mount Sinai. The journey takes about four hours, giving you ample time to relax before your trek begins. Once at the base of the mountain, you’ll be led by an experienced Bedouin guide who will provide information about the historical and religious significance of your surroundings.

The hike up Mount Sinai is no small feat. You’ll ascend approximately 750 steps to reach the summit, a journey that takes about 2-3 hours depending on the pace of the group. While physically demanding, the trek is incredibly rewarding. The descent is easier but still requires stamina, as it takes about two hours to return to the base. The entire experience is both physically challenging and spiritually enriching.

This tour is perfect for those seeking an active, nature-filled adventure with a touch of history. Whether you are an experienced hiker or a beginner, the beauty and cultural significance of this tour will captivate you. The combination of mountain trekking, stunning views, and the exploration of one of the most important religious sites in the world makes it an exceptional experience.
