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.

The level of difficulty is under played in this 16 hour adventure of an excursion. It is excellent yet the hike up the mountain is not for the faint hearted or unfit. The sunrise is spectacular, the hike guide good and sensible. The drive to and from the hike is about 3 hours with stops. Our driver drove at 140kmph and frequently took and made calls, as well as texted whilst driving. Facilities are limited, for those that may need, take a roll of paper.

Le lever de soleil après trois heures de marche et l'escalade des 750 marches avant le sommet sont des moments inoubliables

Le minibus est venus nous récupérer à l’hôtel à 21:50, et nous avons commencé le trekking à 1:50. Un guide nous accueille dans la voiture, nous explique tout le programme et passe ensuite le relais à un guide bédouin pour l’ascension du mont.
Le guide bédouin étais particulièrement attentif et avais de bon conseil.
Nous étions un groupe mixte de 12 personnes et avons atteint le sommet à 4:45.
Le soleil s’est levé à 5:45
Le lever du soleil fut absolument splendide et restera longtemps dans nos mémoire.
L’ascension n’est pas si compliqué jusqu’au 750 dernières marche.
Mais vous pouvez largement faire des pauses dans les escaliers car compliqué du à leur irrégularité.
C’est une expérience merveilleuse et ouverte à tout âge, nous y avons vu des enfants jusqu’à des personnes plus âgée.
Si vous vous sentez grandement en difficulté, vous pouvez louer des chameaux à 15euros pour la monté et la descente.
Car la descente n’est pas forcément plus simple malgré qu’elles soit plus rapide.
Le monastère est aussi magnifique à voir.
N’hésitez pas à acheter un poncho aux bédouins avant l’ascension (5euros) car il fait très froid tout au long.
