Overview

An overnight climb of the sacred Mount Sinai lets you reach the holy peak in time for a breathtaking sunrise. You’ll hike to the summit in the quiet of the night and watch the first light spill over the Sinai mountains. The climb is framed as a spiritual experience and offers striking high‑altitude views from the top. You’ll also visit St Catherine Monastery, one of the oldest monasteries in the world. Comfortable transfers and professional guidance are provided throughout the journey. Camel rides are available for part of the climb as an optional extra (additional cost).
