Overview

This Mt. Sinai Climb and St. Catherine Tour starts with a stress-free pickup in Sharm el Sheikh. Once your guide picks you up, sit back and relax as the ride to the mountain can take around three hours.

Your first stop is near Mt. Sinai, the place where Moses was given the 10 commandments. A guide leads the way as you climb your way to its summit. After you climb the path to the top, take in sunset views from the top. (If you don’t think you’re in good enough shape to climb, you can opt for a camel ride up instead.)

Once you come back down, pop into St. Catherine with your guide to see the church before getting back on your vehicle for the transfer back to Sharm el Sheikh.
