It's a unique experience to follow the biblical history of the sacred mountain, where it’s believed Moses received the Ten Commandments. Climbing to the summit (2285mt) to watch a spectacular sunrise is worth the tough efforts you do. ⠀
After you meet sunrise at the mount top, the group goes to the monastery of St. Catherine, located at the foot of the mountain.
The trip starts around 19:30-21:00 from your hotel. Ends around 14:00.
Our tips:
- be ready for a cold weather on the top and take with you heavy clothes (gloves, hat, jacket);
- you can take hot drinks with you in thermo cup and some snacks. The prices on the mountain are "touristic";
- there is option to rent a camel, but the last part of the route - 750 steps to the top you have to walk.
Attention: the microbus has no luggage space, so you can't take it for the trip. Pick up from the airport, Royssat bus station, Dahab is with extra charge.

As a solo traveler I was a bit hesitant taking this trip but decided to do it and it was truly the highlight of my holiday. What I don't like about tours in Egypt generally is the amount of stops they do on the road. I was picked up from my hotel at 21:30 and the drive together with 6 stops was 3...

Exhausting, exhilarating and exciting.
Ascending at night adds mystique and charm. If you feel you can’t make it, then Bedouins are on hand (for a fee!) to take you some of the way on a camel.
Amazing photos. Shame couldn’t stay in the monastery mins longer.
