Overview

An overnight hike to the summit of Mount Sinai lets you watch the sunrise from a dramatic high point above the desert. You will hike through Egypt’s desert landscape in the cooler hours and reach the summit in time for early morning light. Knowledgeable guides accompany you and share insights into the region’s rich history as you move through the mountain’s trails. Comfortable transport from Sharm El-Sheikh is provided so you can relax before and after the climb. After the ascent you will descend to visit St. Catherine’s Monastery, a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the oldest Christian monasteries in the world. As you explore the monastery and its surroundings, the guide will explain the cultural and historical significance of the site. The experience includes hotel pickup and drop-off and air-conditioned transportation, plus bottled water and snacks. Optional Bedouin scarves are typically offered during the hike. This combination of an adventurous night trek and a guided visit to a historic religious site offers both outdoor spectacle and cultural immersion.
