Climb Mount Sinai (Mount Moses) at night to watch the sunrise, then visit St. Catherine's Monastery, or take a day trip to the monastery.
Mount Sinai, also known as Mount Moses, is one of the most famous mountains in the world. According to tradition, it is where Moses received the Ten Commandments. On the sunrise climb you leave Sharm El Sheikh at night, climb with a Bedouin guide under the stars and reach the top in time to watch the sun rise over the mountains of South Sinai, a moment many travelers never forget.
At the foot of the mountain stands St. Catherine's Monastery, one of the oldest working Christian monasteries in the world. Inside you can see the Burning Bush and the Church of the Transfiguration. The sunrise climb ends with a visit to the monastery, and if you prefer not to climb, the St. Catherine's Monastery day trip visits the monastery during the day.
The climb takes a few hours and is done in the dark, so you need good walking shoes, a flashlight and warm clothes, as it is cold on the summit, especially in winter. Please dress modestly for the monastery, with shoulders and knees covered. Each trip page shows the program, what is included and the pickup details.
