Embark on an unforgettable hiking trip from Sharm El Sheikh to one of Egypt’s highest peaks. Begin your ascent in the quiet predawn hours, reaching the 7,497-foot (2,285-meter) summit just in time to watch the first rays of sunlight illuminate the ancient chapel and mosque at the mountaintop.

Mount Sinai Night Trip from Sharm El Sheikh
Embark on a spiritual journey to one of the world’s most famous mountains – Mount Sinai, where Moses is believed to have received the Ten Commandments.
Your adventure begins in the late evening, with pickup from your hotel in Sharm El Sheikh between 19:30–21:00. After a 3-hour drive, you’ll arrive at the base of the mountain and start your night climb. As you ascend under the starry sky, you’ll reach the summit just in time to witness a breathtaking sunrise over the desert peaks.
The tour concludes around 14:00, after your descent and visit to the historic Monastery of St. Catherine.
Tips for your trip:
- Dress warmly – temperatures at the summit can be very cold (bring gloves, hat, and a jacket).
- Carry a thermos with hot drinks and some snacks.
- Keep in mind that prices for food and drinks on the mountain are higher than usual
climbing the mount sinai

At 2:00 am, you’ll begin the 3-hour ascent of Mount Sinai (2,285 m) accompanied by an experienced guide. The climb follows a winding path that eventually leads to 700 stone steps, taking you all the way to the summit just in time to witness a breathtaking sunrise over the desert landscape.
For those who prefer not to hike the entire way, there is an option to ride a camel for most of the route. However, please note that the final 750 steps to the peak must be done on foot.
Saint Catherine's Monastery

After your descent from Mount Sinai, your guide will welcome you at the gates of the historic St. Catherine’s Monastery, one of the oldest Christian monasteries in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Inside, you’ll visit the Church of the Transfiguration, adorned with ancient icons and mosaics, and stand before the legendary Burning Bush, believed to be the very spot where God appeared to Moses in flames that did not consume the shrub. You’ll also see the Well of Prophet Moses, a sacred site tied to centuries of tradition. With its priceless manuscripts, religious relics, and timeless atmosphere, St. Catherine’s Monastery is not just a place of worship but a living treasure of faith, history, and spirituality.
