Enjoy an amazing breathtaking journey to Mount Sinai and St. Catherine’s monastery, and visit one of the oldest Christian monasteries in the world, St. Catherine, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the world’s oldest working Christian monastery, built around the site of the Burning Bush. After starting, climb Mount Sinai to see the sunrise from atop Moses Mountain, and enjoy the unencumbered view of the star-lit universe.

The negative side was very uncomfortable minibus we had to spend many hours in. I would strongly recommend the organisers to charge more money for the tour but get a comfortable bus. Otherwise, well organised and great experience.

This trip was hard but amazing the views from the mountain top with the sun rise a wow experience I'd say you have to be fairly fit to walk it or you can get a camel ride up 90% of the Way the monastery beautiful to see the church the burning Bush mosses well just wonderful but bring warm clothes for the mountain top its very cold at night and wear proper walking shoes

The hike is a must do for hike lovers, a very u queue experience hiking in the dark and then going back down in the light! Beautiful views and photo opportunities at the summit.
Not 5 stars because of the admin and pick up was dreadful, driver was late and rude and we weren’t really aware what was going on.
Also a lot of down time and waiting totalling around 3 hours throughout.

The trip to the Sinai Mountain was well organized. we got picked up from our hotel in exact time. Zekerija took good care of us. Just one thing missing, no one told us to bring blankets.
You will be offered panchos but remember that you will be warm when you will walk, so consider if it is necessary for you. You will also be offered blankets at the top of the mountain for an amount of money.

Booked the last minute and joined the tour during the weekend. The price was very competitive, 35usd as compared to other tour operators who charge 75usd.
The transport was okay. The guide in Sinai was okay too, but he could’ve been more accommodating. I liked the freedom of hiking the mountain without waiting for anybody, but he could have waited for the others (ie the old and unfit). At the top, he did make sure to check on our whereabouts and I appreciated that. He didn’t explain anything though, like the church on the mountain, etc.
We got a different guide in the monastery. Initially I thought he did okay. But then he failed to show us where the museum is... and didn’t even ask us if we wanted to see the chapel.
I did appreciate it when he found a way for me to the bus station in Sharm El Sheikh right after the tour. The operator did not inform him about my drop off.
After all things commented about the guides, climbing Mt Sinai was an experience. The sunrise was gorgeous. The St Katherine Monastery was beautiful as well. The tour was worth the time and effort. I’m so glad I did it!
