Mount Sinai Climb and St Catherine Tour from Sharm El Sheikh

I didn’t want to give 1 star,tour so poorly organised,do not book with this tour operator,other groups were getting regular rest stops and instructions,our guide told us if we wanted a rest stop we would need to pay to go on a camel,even though all the group were requesting a rest stop,poor and limited instructions given,picked up in a small,cramped mini bus with poor air conditioning,told to stand in direct sunlight for st Catherine’s briefing,on return journey bus stopped 10 minutes drive from hotel,a number of us were told to get off the bus to be transferred by another bus to our hotels,sharer were all in direct sunlight,by the side of the road ,we were left waiting 10 minutes before other vehicle arrived,we were not able to get back on original transport whilst waiting,if wanting to do this trip,book with different tour operator

Sinbad is the best Sharm top tour operator in all... Do not hesitate to book with them When booking very kind and maximum availability Impeccable perfect precisions The MOUNT MOSĖ AND ST. CATHERINE MONASTERY hike is a unique and mystical experience I would call it more than an excursion a pilgrimage... For the ascent to the mountain you need a physical preparation especially for those who want to reach the summit... The route is quite challenging if you are not practical trekking... The first part can be done on the back of a Camel at an extra cost of € 25 negotiable locally I ko made the climb all on foot The gait of the Bedouin guide was very fast Bring hiking boots absolutely and climbing wands a thermal T-shirt a sweatshirt and a windproof jacket X the top... Breakfast in your backpack a flashlight a headband X and a prayer in your pocket I saw the best star of my life almost touch the sky and a sunrise that I will remember X all my life We were very few people at the summit and also in the minibus and everything made the experience tailor-made I would have appreciated a photographer At the monastery the emotions continued with the burning bush the well of Moses and the Orthodox church the museum and the mosque What about a dream booked 6 months ago realized thanks to Sinbad tours A dream I will remember for a lifetime If you decide on this pilgrimage be prepared for a purpose a prayer and aerobic physical activity A sacred place A place to preserve An exciting place Beyond material goods Sinbad thank you very much Top everything impeccable What a fantastic experience ????

Pros: You're on Mt. Sinai where so much history has happened. It's a very cool night hike with a group of about 30 other people and it could get crowded. The views are incredible and icons are quite nice also. It really brought the Middle Eastern adventure together especially as I paid 20$ to take a camel downhill after the sunrise. Cons: I had to search what to wear. It is cold on the mountain so I wore jeans and a light coat. The busride was quite long so be prepared for that. There's trash there with "Bedouins" just throwing garbage on the ground and not caring whatsoever. They will beg for tips no matter what. Every 30 minutes walking there's like a snack shack so you can buy anything from snickers and a coke to a warm knitted jacket. Biggest con was the Monastery was closed because of Easter. So I'll have to go again, but hope I can just take a taxi.
