The guide Marwan and driver Hisham were great! Very responsible, considering and attentive. They came on time to pick me up and explain things well. Made trip very enjoyable.

Great adventure from Cairo to St Catherine’s Monastery in Sinai . Overnight in accommodation with a start onto the mountain at midnight. Osama and driver from Sun Pyramid Tours really looked after us and our guide up and down the mountain (Ali) was a star. This trip is physically demanding but spiritually rewarding. A must do if you’re in Egypt. Many thanks again to Ali, Osama and driver. Sun Pyramid tours.

We left Cairo early morning and loaded all of our luggage in a car. Even though the trip took about 5-6 hours, the car was comfortable and we had ample stops along the way. We passed by small towns, dry landscapes, numerous checkpoints but our guide Mohamed was very engaging and explained some history about the places we passed. Overall a safe trip going to St Catherine's. At St. Catherine's, we had lunch at a quaint restaurant and proceeded to rest in our hotel. Because we were still full, we decided to skip the dinner and just went to bed at 6 pm. After all, the plan was to get up at 11 pm t

Fue una experiencia muy buena y todo bien organizado, nuestro guía Mohamed estuvo atento a todo nos ayudó incluso yendo a una farmacia por su cuenta xq nos llegamos a sentir un poco mal; también el chofer pero no recuerdo el nombre. La subida muy fría recomiendo que vayan abrigados pero ya en la cima todo se olvida. Un beduinos llamado Fayer nos condujo por la montaña y también fue atento nos ayudaba deteniéndose en lugares e incluso cargó con nuestro equipaje en la parte de las escaleras.
