An overnight hike to the summit of Mount Sinai lets you watch the sunrise from a dramatic high point above the desert.

Comfortable transport from Sharm El-Sheikh is provided so you can relax before and after the climb.

As you explore the monastery and its surroundings, the guide will explain the cultural and historical significance of the site.
