From your hotel
A mystical, unforgettable experience: climb Moses' sacred summit at 2,285 metres to witness one of the most striking sunrises in the world. A night ascent with an expert Bedouin guide, the 750 steps carved into the granite, dawn over the peaks of Sinai and a guided visit to St Catherine's Monastery.
20:30 – 21:30
Pick-up from your resort in Sharm El Sheikh in a comfortable air-conditioned minivan or bus and the journey to the valley of St Catherine (about 2h30–3h).
01:00 – 01:30
Night ascent: arrival at the base, meeting the expert Bedouin guide and the start of the climb along the panoramic path, with the option to ride a camel as far as the foot of the steps.
The 750 steps and the summit (2,285 m): the final climb up the staircase carved into the granite, reaching the top just before first light.
Sunrise on Mount Sinai: the moving spectacle of the sun rising and washing the peaks in warm colours, with time for photos and a look at the chapels at the top.
08:30 – 09:00
Descent and valley: walking back down in daylight through the striking rocky gorges to the Monastery.
Visit to St Catherine's Monastery: a break for your packed breakfast and a guided visit to the landmarks — the Burning Bush, the Basilica of the Transfiguration and the Well of Moses.
13:30 – 14:30
Return and direct arrival at your hotel for an afternoon rest.
