Description
Your journey begins with an evening pickup from your hotel in Sharm El Sheikh between 8:00 PM and 9:00 PM. Travel comfortably in an air-conditioned vehicle for about four hours to reach the sacred Mount Moses (Mount Sinai).
Upon arrival, start your trekking adventure up the holy mountain, where it is believed that Prophet Moses received the Ten Commandments. The hike takes approximately 2–3 hours, during which you’ll climb 750 steps to reach the summit at 2,285 meters above sea level.
If your group reaches the top early, you’ll have extra time to relax and take in the peaceful atmosphere before the breathtaking sunrise begins. Watch as the first rays of light spread across the rugged mountain landscape — a truly unforgettable moment. Capture stunning photos or take a moment for quiet reflection and prayer before beginning your descent, which takes about two hours.
After the trek, enjoy some time to rest and have breakfast before continuing to the next part of your journey — a visit to the St. Catherine’s Monastery, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Explore the ancient monastery’s treasures, including centuries-old manuscripts in its library and iconic artworks linked to the Vatican.
Recognized as the oldest continuously functioning Christian monastery in the world, St. Catherine’s stands as a remarkable symbol of faith and history on the Sinai Peninsula, alongside the Monastery of Saint Anthony across the Red Sea.
Once your exploration is complete, relax on your comfortable drive back to Sharm El Sheikh, carrying with you the memories of an awe-inspiring spiritual and historical journey.
