Activity itinerary

Sharm El Sheikh

This tour is a bus trip to the most famous mountain on Sinai where Moses received the Ten Commandments. You will be picked up from your hotel in Sharm el Sheikh in the late evening and transferred for 3 hours to Moses Mountain.

Mount Sinai

  • 6h
At 02.00am you will then start the 3-hour climb of 2,285m up the mountain guided by one of our guides. You can climb by following a long path which leads to 700 steps. This takes you to the top of the mountain on time for the sunrise where you can enjoy a beautiful view. If you feel you can't climb the mountain you can get a camel ride that takes you to the 700 steps. After the sunrise, you will get down and take your vehicle back to sharm El Sheikh.

Saint Catherine

  • 3h
After getting down from the mount sinai, you will be met with your guide by the gate of the monastery, where you will visit the transfiguration Church, the burning Bush the well of the prophet Moses, than transfer back to your hotel in Sharm. The monastery is opened for tourists for less time due to the covid.
