Tiring experience but Worth it - It was really fun and exhausting climb. We did the climb during the day. First we visited St Catherine's Monastery. Then we started to climb at around noon. We visited in October so the temperature was much more bearable. Climbing at night I have heard is much too cold. We rode camels up, which was a must during the heat of the day. Make sure to bring plenty of water and snacks. Luckily we did. Since we did the tour during the middle of the day there was no meal provided with the tour. The climb was very taxing but very rewarding.

A beautiful experience - An absolutely amazing experience. My guide Mahmoud was amazing. He communicated with me days before the tour what the plan was for the tour. He was full of amazing information and went out of his way to help me find a local shop after the tour. I felt extremely safe going alone a solo female hiker. The hike up was breath taking. Highly recommend

Amazing! - Had an amazing day trip with Mahmoud Hanafy! He was friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and made us feel like we were at home in Egypt. I was on my honeymoon with my husband and Mt. Sinai/St. Katherine’s was on our bucket list. 10/10 recommend Hanafy and Memphis Tours. Thank you!!

Historical, Beautiful Scenery, and Peaceful - I highly recommend traveling to Saint Catherine's Monastery. It is well worth visiting regardless of your religious beliefs or lack of. The area is extremely peaceful, full of beautiful nature scenes, and has an excellent history. Mahmoud Hanafy was my guide, and I HIGHLY recommend him. He was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Above all, he is an amazing guide, and I recommend asking for him to be your guide.

Well Organised with Amazing Views - Our private trip to Mount Sinai was nothing short of amazing. It was very well organised, and the itinerary was communicated to us clearly by Mahmoud, our assigned guide. While he did not stay with us the entire journey (for the sunrise hike to Mount Senai, you are handed over to a Bendouin guide who is in contact with Mahmoud), our time with him at St Catherine Monastery was very interesting as he is very knowledgeable and shared with us the history behind the different religions. This was on top of explaining the sights of the monastery to us and helping us to take photos. The driver accompanying Mahmoud was also very kind, stopping on the way back to the hotel to treat us to falafels as he could see that we were very exhausted from the journey. Unfortunately we cannot remember his name. The view up Mount Sinai was amazing as you are away from the light pollution of the cities and can see stars dotting the sky. At the top, you will be rewarded with a sunrise. We made it to the top with plenty of time to spare despite trying to pace it out and slow our ascent. We recommend going with Memphis Tours for your trip to Mount Sinai, and do remember to ask for Mahmoud as your guide. We booked through Viator but it might be better to go directly to them as we have been seeing Memphis Tours’ vans all around Egypt and they are quite reputable. Hopefully we will get the opportunity to come back to Egypt, and to Mount Sinai.

Amazing guide(s) delivering wonderful experience - Very well organized tour, and highlight of my trip to Egypt. My tour guide Mr.Mahmoud Hanafy was very knowledgeable and shared great details about St.Catherine monastery and Mount Sanai. I am a solo traveler and he took great care in making sure I have a good experience. He answered all my questions and took many pictures of me which are a treasure. For hiking, Mr.Salah was my guide and he is one of the most sweetest and most patient guide. Our driver was Mr. Abdul Rehman (Abdo) who was also very nice and safe driver. Overall, this was a memorable experience for me because the team took such a good care. Thank you.

Worth the Climb - My family and I had a great time on our tour. We had Engy as our guide, and she was both personable and informative. St. Catherine Monastery was unfortunately closed, but Memphis Tours was great and contacted us before hand to let us know. They offered to move our tour day, but unfortunately our tight schedule wouldn’t allow us to do that. Our Bedouin guide up Mount Sinai was also very knowledgeable, and fun spirited. We had a fantastic time despite the monastery being closed, and I would highly recommend this tour!

Mount sinai - Mount sinai is the best Memphis Tours is definitely the tour company to use when traveling throughout Sharm El Shiek ! They are very organized and very service oriented down to the details Most impressive is the communication between Memphis Tours and their staff and in turn us the travelers. During the tour I felt very taken care of and relaxed because they took the stress out of my vacation at mount sinai for sunrise.

This is one of a kind... - This is one of a kind trip, I highly recommend this tour to anyone traveling to Sharm El Sheikh it is and aventure that is well worth to try

Interesting visit to this biblical site Mount Sinai and St Catherine - Very interesting tour of the monastery, well explained. Friendly guide. We were picked up at the hotel a scheduled and taken to start the tour to avoid any waste on time. Hike to Mount Sinai was not as difficult as thought because we did it with no sun. Just take your time and consider your fit level when doing it.
