Tour's Location

1. How long is the St. Catherine & Mount Sinai trip from Sharm El Sheikh?

The excursion usually takes a full day, with pickup from your hotel late at night or in the early morning and return to Sharm El Sheikh after visiting Mount Sinai and St. Catherine’s Monastery.

2. Is the Mount Sinai hike difficult?

The hike is considered moderate to challenging because it involves a long uphill climb, uneven terrain, and many steps. A reasonable level of fitness is recommended. You can usually take breaks along the way, and camels may be available locally for part of the ascent at an additional cost.

3. Will we visit St. Catherine’s Monastery?

Yes. The itinerary normally includes a visit to the historic St. Catherine’s Monastery, located at the foot of Mount Sinai. The monastery is one of Egypt’s most important religious and historical sites.

4. What should I bring for the Mount Sinai trip?

We recommend bringing comfortable walking shoes, warm clothing, water, sunscreen, a hat, and a small backpack. Temperatures on Mount Sinai can be significantly colder than in Sharm El Sheikh, especially before sunrise, so warm layers are essential.

5. Does the tour include hotel pickup and drop-off?

Yes. Hotel pickup and drop-off in Sharm El Sheikh are normally included, along with transportation in an air-conditioned vehicle. Depending on the selected package, entrance fees, a guide, meals, and other services may also be included.
