Dans l'enceinte du monastère, nous avons pu voir le buisson ardent devant lequel Moïse rencontra Dieu.
We had a great hike ab to mousas mountain it was 7 km all the way ab Or guide Mohammed he was good Bedouin guide and he was all the with us Very beautiful landscape from the the top If you visit the place for you
Wir haben eine Wanderung mit Sonnenaufgang auf dem Berg und Besichtigung des Klosters gebucht. Die Tour war mit Abholung vom Hotel in Dahab, Führung auf den Berg und zurück und Eintritt In das Kloster. Der Veranstalter war "Dahab Safari Day Tours". Wir wurden abends vom Hotel mit einem Bus gegen 22 Uhr abgeholt. Die Fahrt hat recht lange gedauert. Wir haben zuerst noch mehrere andere Hotels angefahren um Gäste abzuholen. Am Berg angekommen wurden wir einem Bergführer zugeteilt. Zuerst muss man an einer Art Kontrollstelle Schlange stehen und die Reisepässe werden kontrolliert. Dann hat man uns
Unreal experience! The tour is amazing, although is very tiring and demanding. But if you do at your own pace you will reach the summit eventually. There are some tea houses on the way up so its possible to rest as well. The tour guide Amr was very polite and share with us his knowledge about history and took a good care of us. Highly recommended that you book with them!
This was a ‘private tour’. Meaning it was just us with the guide and driver in a van coming and going and at the monastery. They also set us up with a Bedouin guide that was just us and the guide up the mountain. I had read another review where someone said ‘Ride the camel’. So glad we did. $25 each. A little over 2 miles of uphill rocky switchbacks to start the climb. And of course it is super dark. Had people trying to hire camels part way up after they decided they wouldn’t be able to walk it very well. The 750 ‘stairs’ to the top are stairs in the sense that it is stones and boulders fashi
The trip was absolutely fantastic! The guides, Hanafy and Eid, were amazing. I did a great hike and the views were exceptional. It wasn’t a hard climb - did it in less than 2.5 hours - but it was a very long day/night so you’ll need the next day to recover. Highly recommend this. It was my highlight of Egypt!
