It's a unique experience to follow the biblical history of the sacred mountain, where it’s believed Moses received the Ten Commandments. Climbing to the summit (2285mt) to watch a spectacular sunrise is worth the tough efforts you do. ⠀ After you meet sunrise at the mount top, the group goes to the monastery of St. Catherine, located at the foot of the mountain. The trip starts around 19:30-21:00 from your hotel. Ends around 14:00. Our tips: - be ready for a cold weather on the top and take with you heavy clothes (gloves, hat, jacket); - you can take hot drinks with you in thermo cup and some snacks. The prices on the mountain are "touristic"; - there is option to rent a camel, but the last part of the route - 750 steps to the top you have to walk. Attention: the microbus has no luggage space, so you can't take it for the trip. Pick up from the airport, Royssat bus station, Dahab is with extra charge.

Bad rating because the bus ride was miserable. We were picked up first, but then had to spend 2 hours (!) picking up the other passengers. From here it took 3.5 hours to drive to the mountain (including 15-20 minutes). We drove in a small minibus from the 80s with a cooling system (but the nozzles from which the air came did not always work...). There was room for 22 in the bus and it was full. In addition, the seat was narrow. I am 1.75 m tall and my knees were squeezed up from the front seat. Honestly, it seemed that it had been attempted to maximize earnings at the expense of passengers. The trip up the mountain takes place in two parts: First an unmarked grass path (3/4 of the road) and then a hard, steep “stairs” chopped into the mountain (1/4 of the road). It is dark and sometimes smooth - so be careful. Security is non-existent! Bring a headlamp! There are small shops on the way up, where you can buy drinks and chocolate bars (e.g. twix etc.). The sunrise is really beautiful. The monastery is fine enough, but nothing special. Our guide was most busy getting us through so we could drive home again. Without the bus trip out and home I would give the experience 4/5 stars - for the trip up the mountain is hard!

The communication about the programme was poor. The guide became rude when we informed that we did not fave torch and fad not organised breakfast. He charged £20 in local restaurant for breakfast which consisted of a few pieces of tomato, cucumber a stale bread with cheese and cup of coffee. The trip through saint Kathrine monastery was quick finishing in less than 10 minutes and when I insisted on going through the museum I was charged $5 and then 5 minutes through the museum as he was worried to miss the convey and asked us to spend $2 on taxi to reach the coach. Then we left without convey. Earlier the trip to mount senai was extremely disappointing with no facilities and I wil suggest Viator to visit public toilets as I saw distressed people. The whole trip was enjoyable as it was on my buck list but it left me with the impression that we were to be fleeced on every step. The guide who accompanied us to the mountain Senaie was excellent and gentle soul. I strongly recommend Musa. This trip us not got faint hearted.
