Description
Would you like to discover a stunning Egyptian mountain? Then join us on this adventure to the top of the famous Mount Sinai and enjoy a unique hike that will also take you to the renowned St. Catherine’s Monastery.
Mount Sinai, also known as Mount Moses, is an important religious landmark for Abrahamic religions and a fascinating place to visit in Egypt. It is located in the Sinai Peninsula and is a great location to see the sunrise. Nearby is St. Catherine Monastery, one of the most famous Christian monasteries in the world.
On this adventure, we will climb to the top of this peak during the night in order to catch sight of the sun’s first rays from the top. We will pick you up at your hotel in Sharm El Sheikh at 10.30 pm and drive to St. Catherine where we will begin our ascent at 2 am, and descend at 7 am. Then, we will visit St. Catherine’s monastery, and after, we will enjoy some shopping and lunch in Dahab. Finally, we will drive you back to the hotel.
Keep in mind that we offer this tour from Monday to Saturday. It is also possible to climb Mount Sinai in the afternoon to catch the sunset.

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
