The climb to the summit of Mount Sinai is moderate to challenging. It involves a steady ascent on a trail that can be rocky and steep in some sections. The hike typically takes 2-3 hours. Participants should be in good physical condition, but no technical climbing skills are required.
We recommend bringing comfortable walking shoes or hiking boots, a flashlight or headlamp for the early morning climb, warm clothing (as temperatures can drop significantly at higher altitudes), snacks, water, and a camera to capture the stunning views.
Yes, camels are available for hire to assist with part of the ascent. However, the final section of the climb, known as the "Steps of Repentance," must be done on foot.
The tour typically departs from Cairo in the early morning of Day 1 and returns in the evening of Day 2. Exact departure and return times will be provided upon booking.
The tour is generally suitable for children aged 12 and above who are physically fit for the hike. However, younger children may find the climb challenging.
Yes, dinner on Day 1 and breakfast on Day 2 are included. Additional snacks and meals can be purchased en route or at the hotel.
While Mount Sinai and St. Catherine’s Monastery hold significant religious importance, the tour is open to everyone. The experience is as much about the natural beauty and historical significance as it is about spirituality.
Yes, private tours can be customized to fit your preferences, including adjustments to the itinerary or the addition of extra days. Please contact us for more details.
