It was a long excursion. We were picked up at 21.00 at the next day at 13.00 we were back at the hotel in sharm el sheikh. we started to climb at midnight. It was 5 km but it took around 3,5 till 4 hours to reach the top. The climb is not easy and not suitable for people who are not in good shape, have backproblems, leg problems, weak ankles. There is a guide who will help you and there are stops (small teahouses) The higher you go the more cold it gets. I would advise everyone to take warm clothing it is really cold. You can also rent a blanket for 4 dollar (only cash). The view with sunrise

A fuir....Le 6 novembre dernier j'ai réservé par WhatsApp une excursion d'une journée pour visiter le monastère de Sainte-Catherine pour le 15 décembre. je contacte aujourd'hui le 11 décembre la société pour m'assurer que ma réservation est bien prise en compte. Il me disent qu'ils n'ont des disponibilités que pour samedi 13 décembre le jour de notre arrivée en Égypte et me demandent les noms de tous les participants. informations que je leur ai fournies le 6 novembre ! depuis je leur demande où est passée notre réservation: plus aucune réponse, silence total. Société à fuir pas sérieuse du to

Es war eine schöne und lange Tour zum Mt. Sinai. Die Tour war gut organisiert mit einem netten und informativen Reiseleiter. Besonders unser Guide der unsere Gruppe während der Bergtour begleitet hat war hilfsbereit engagiert und immer ansprechbar. Leider hatte man im Kloster nicht mehr soviel Zeit zu Besichtigung

Já utilizei esta agência várias vezes, desde a ida ao Monte Sinai no ano passado, até transferes de e para o aeroporto e também a visita ao Cairo de avião. A agência sempre se mostrou organizada e com um excelente serviço de apoio ao cliente. Todos sabemos que por vezes há coisas que correm menos bem, mas o esforço e disponibilidade da agência, nomeadamente da Asmaa para solucionar o problema foi incansável e a agência merece toda a nossa confiança. Obrigado
