Description

Visit the Sinai Desert and hike to the top of Mount Moses. Marvel at the incredible sunrise from the summit. Visit the oldest working Christian monastery in the world — St. Catherine Monastery.
Begin your journey as the sun sets and reach its climax as the sun rises again on this transformative hiking experience to the top of Mount Moses. See the sunrise from the summit of the world's most famous holy site, and take time after to visit St. Catherine's Monastery.
Get picked up from your hotel in Sharm El Sheikh the night before your hike and head to Moses Mountain in an air-conditioned van. Begin your journey to the holy site where the Prophet Moses received the Ten Commandments once you reach Mount Sinai.
Ascend 750 stairs and continue your trek through the night, reaching up to 2,286 meters.
Depending on the group's performance, you could get to the top sooner than you planned. Enjoy an opportunity to relax completely as you witness the sun's magnificence slowly dispersing across the mountains.

Take some amazing pictures or pray while admiring the sunrise, then start the ascent back down. Keep in mind that it will take around two hours to reach the bottom. After a strenuous hike, take some time to relax and have breakfast.

Visit St. Catherine's Monastery, a UNESCO World Heritage Site next. Examine the ancient texts on exhibit at the library.

Once the monastery tour is over, unwind as you make your way back to your Sharm El Sheikh hotel.
