the top of Mount Sinai and marvel at the incredible sunrise from the summit
the oldest functioning Christian monasteries in the world situated on the Sinai Peninsula along with the Monastery of Saint Anthony
Get picked up at 8:15 PM from your hotel in Sharm El Sheikh city of Egypt, then travel in an air-conditioned vehicle for around 4 hours to reach the Moses Mountain.
Upon arrival, climb up Mount Sinai – the sacred place where the Prophet Moses received the 10 commandments. Reach 2,285 meters by climbing up 750 steps, strolling all night (approx 2-3 hours depending on the customers).
arrive at the summit and marvel at the rising sun slowly scattering across the mountains in all its splendor.
While gazing at the sunrise, click awesome photos or pray if you wish to, then begin the descent back down. Remember, it will take around 2 hours to reach the bottom.
Enjoy some time to rest after the long trail and then have breakfast.
Next, visit the UNESCO World Heritage Site of St. Catherine’s Monastery. Browse through the old manuscripts displayed in the library and icons excavated from the Vatican. It is the oldest functioning Christian monasteries in the world situated on the Sinai Peninsula along with the Monastery of Saint Anthony which is located across the Red Sea in the desert of South Cairo.
Later proceed to Dahab, aka the Flower Power City of the Red Sea, and enjoy sightseeing in the city as well as some shopping.
Finally, relax and take your lunch. End the journey with a hotel drop-off at Sharm El Sheikh.
my creaky knees were not up to making the hike to see the sunrise from Mount Sinai, but it was pretty amazing to see it at the base of the Mountain.
I’m not at all a religious person but there is something spiritual about being surrounded by ‘pilgrims’ of different nationalities as you climb the mountain where Moses is said to have spoken to god. After a tough but doable hike you are rewarded with beautiful views over Sinai and the other mountain ranges with the clouds beneath you as well as one of the best sunrises.
It is amazing experience and hard also at the same time but each step you reach through in your journey you need to reach more till you reach the top.incredible moment when you reach the top after walking 7 km. the sunrise is amazing moment from the top of the mountain. When you start to go down from the top you start new journey from discovering this area. Specially when you go down from the stairs way it is harder way but you will see different views for the mountain differ from the normal sandy way.
Mt. Sinai expedition is a unique experience, one of its kind. We went there during summer months, so going on the top at night time is highly recommended. You must be physically fit and well equipped to hike/climb the mountain. For the first half of the journey, you can hire a camel, which is an experience in itself
he mountain is significant place for 3 religions (even this is not the proved place where Mosses talked to God) and that should be visited at least one.
My wife and I decided to climb this mountain to see the beautiful sunrise and to touch the history 🙂
But our experience was not the best as we were not too prepared (although we knew that the temperature is lower than at St. Catherine and read much). it was nice day
