Overview

Watch sunrise from the top of Mount Sinai on a hiking trip from Sharm el Sheikh to one of Egypt’s highest mountains. You’ll climb the 7,497-foot (2,285-mt.) peak in the predawn darkness, see first light illuminate the mountaintop chapel and mosque, then descend to the 6th-century Monastery of St. Catherine, built where Moses is believed to have seen the Burning Bush. With round-trip transport from Sharm el Sheikh, this is a great way to experience Mount Sinai and St. Catherine even if you have limited time in Egypt.
  • Hike to the summit of Mount Sinai
  • Leave in the dark to catch sunrise at the mountain
  • Option to ride a camel most of the way (own expense)
  • Visit the oldest continually-operating monastery in the world
  • See centuries-old Christian art and relics
  • Pickup and drop-off at hotels in Sharm el Sheikh

It was written that max 15 people in group but in reality our group was like 30+ people. On other hand guides were nice, they spoke english.

We believe that you booked that tour with another tour company. As we didn't run that tour for you and we don't run the tour in group of 30 people, our groups are not more than 15 people and English language is main language of our guises and guests. Please double check with who you booked your tour and who managed it for you.

It takes some time to get up there, and hiking shoes are definitely a must. Don’t be too caught up in bringing water and food with you, as there are places to buy those along the way. In the end, the views up top are definitely definitely worth the grind!

It is a wonderful experience. The staff was very helpful with everything. I went with my mother (59-year-old), and even though it was difficult for her, they were very gentle and supportive - and she was able to finish all the way.

Amazing experience all round. Just be warned that it is VERY cold when climbing in winter. Worth bringing money just in case you decide to take the camel, which you can choose to do at any point. My son and I walked it but some in our party switched to camel. Really great trip overall.

Beautiful mountain, disappointing tour guide
Elizabeth_C
, Nov 2021
Mt Sinai was stunning. The tour itself was not good though. The guide spoke some English but didn't bother as there were only a few of us and he spoke russian the entire time. We didn't get any of the insights, or clear information on the logistics. They also made us stop at a tourist shop before the climb when we were already running late. Noone was interested in that bit. I definitely recommend climbing the mountain bit make sure your guide really does speak your language.

Poor services and take different prices from different tourists group but provide the same services.
Saria_S
, Oct 2021
It was a poor services by Viator. We 5 people have paid $80/person for the trip. We were provided an old van with many other people who have paid half of our prices when we asked. We were supposed to provide a special car, ticket to visit St. Catherine Monastery, and a helpful guide. The guide Noor was good who was helping us ascending/climbing the Moses mountain but the main guide's performance was poor. Local Egypt Tours Club who arranged this trip for Viator offer half of the price with good quality snacks and drinks. We feel we are cheated for the price we paid for this trip.

Dears. First of all we would like to thank you for your feedback which is helping us to improve our services. That tour is managed in group as we mentioned in our description, Our guides are qualified enough to provide the best services and help for our guests, and we got a review from one of the client who was with you with 5 stars rate and thinking us for the provided services and guides. In the include part we don't provide foods and beverage and it is mentioned in the program. For the prices, almost of our tourists booked that tour 3 months ago with special discount which we made for that tour. We are sorry that you didn't get that tour with the offer which we made. That tour ranked excellent from almost of our guests. We are really sorry that you didn't enjoy your experience with us and we are up to give you 20% discount for your next visit to Egypt for you or any of your relatives for any of our tour, Best of wishes

Good experience to Mt Sinai
lowkienyap
, Nov 2019
Overall trip was very good, from the arrangement and also the guide. I had a good time with new friends over there. The only bad side of this trip is the transport to Mt Sinai. It was a bit small and uncomfortable for 3 hours journey. It would be better if they fetch us using mini bus as I saw some of the tour group came in mini bus (perhaps it was due to the group size). Few things to note (1) remember to bring your jacket as it is cold especially on the mountain (2) Make sure you are fit to hike

troy.brennan
, May 2017
This was an amazing experience, but I must say it is the most demanding physical thing I've done, including running a marathon. There is a steady climb to the top, unsure footing, darkness,, cold on the way up and hot on the way down, and pretty strenuous for 3 hours. We did not utilize the camels for the first part, but might not be a bad idea. We went in May 2017.
