What To Expect

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.
