Moses, Sinai Mount & St Catherine Monastery Tour from Sharm

Your journey begins late in the evening with pickup from your hotel in Sharm El Sheikh. Travel by comfortable air-conditioned vehicle across the Sinai Peninsula toward St. Catherine, located at the foot of Mount Sinai. The drive takes approximately 2–3 hours, giving you time to rest before the adventure begins.

Upon arrival at the base of Mount Sinai (Mount Moses) in the early hours of the morning, you will meet your Bedouin guide who will accompany you during the climb. The trek to the summit takes around 2 to 3 hours and follows a well-known pilgrimage path used by travelers for centuries. Along the way, there are rest stops where you can pause and enjoy tea or refreshments available from small Bedouin tents.

Reach the summit just before sunrise and experience one of the most magical moments in the Sinai Desert. Watch as the first rays of sunlight illuminate the rugged mountains and vast desert landscape, creating a breathtaking panoramic view. This peaceful and spiritual moment is often considered the highlight of the journey.

After enjoying the sunrise and taking photos, begin the descent back down the mountain. Once you reach the base, enjoy a short rest before visiting St. Catherine Monastery. Built in the 6th century, this UNESCO World Heritage Site houses remarkable religious icons, ancient manuscripts, and the famous Burning Bush, believed to be the place where God spoke to Moses according to biblical tradition.

After exploring the monastery and learning about its fascinating history, begin the return journey to Sharm El Sheikh, arriving back at your hotel later in the morning with unforgettable memories of this spiritual and historical experience.
