Overview

On an overnight private trip from Cairo, you will hike Mount Sinai accompanied by a Bedouin guide and watch the sunrise over the desert. The climb takes you into a stark, open landscape where light and shadow shift as the sun comes up. Your guide will lead the way along the mountain paths while you take in the views and the stillness of the surrounding desert. After descending from the summit, you will visit St Catherine Monastery, one of Christianity’s oldest monasteries. There you can explore the monastic complex and see its historic setting at the foot of Mount Sinai. The experience combines a mountain hike, a desert sunrise and a visit to a significant religious site, all organised as a private overnight trip from Cairo.
