Overview

Join this guided trek from Sharm el Sheikh for an unforgettable climb of Mount Sinai. Local guides will accompany you on the ascent, as you hike by headlamp through the night. You'll reach the summit in time for a spectacular sunrise over the desert mountains and sea of clouds below.

After capturing photos of the inspiring panorama, you'll descend to the ancient Monastery of St. Catherine. Founded in 527 AD, it's the oldest functioning Christian monastery. Guides will share tales of its history as you explore courtyards, chapels, and the hidden library.

Recharged by the holy site, you'll return to Sharm el Sheikh - with precious memories of climbing a sacred mountain under the desert stars.

As you descend majestic Mount Sinai, your eager guide awaits at the monastery gates. You enter, excited to explore this place steeped in ancient history. First, you visit the glorious Transfiguration Church, said to mark the very spot where Moses spoke to God and saw the burning bush. The church walls glow with golden icons telling the stories of Moses and his miracles. You gaze upon the Well of the Prophet Moses himself, carved from solid rock and still flowing with fresh water after thousands of years. All too soon, you must leave this holy sanctuary, which remains open for just a short while longer due to COVID restrictions.
