Overview

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.
