Well-organised Tour - The tour was well organised with regular communication prior to pick up. The driver was experienced and drove safely, whilst both guides were knowledgeable and polite. After all guests were collected we waited for the police convey with all other tourist groups before beginning our drive to Mt Sinai. There was one toilet stop on the drive and toilets available at the beginning of the trail. The hike itself is easy, although there are approximately 700 stairs at the end which may be difficult if you're unaccustomed to hiking. I would recommend taking your own headlamp or torch as they are not available at the site. Blankets are available to rent at the top for 150EGP which I would recommend as it is very cold at the summit. There is ample to time allocated to ascend the mountain and if you arrive early, it is possible to enjoy a hot tea/coffee/hot chocolate in one of the Bedouin tents which are situated before the final 100 steps. Once you have descended you will be shown around St Catherine's Monastery and given some 15-20 minutes free time to explore as you wish before returning to Sharm El Sheikh. We arrived back at our hotel in the Hadaba area at 2pm. Overall it was a well-organised and pleasant experience which I would definitely recommend.

Great Sunrise Hike - The Mount Sinai hike was an unforgettable experience! The guide was fantastic, providing insightful info along the way. The sunrise view was breathtaking, and everything was well-organized. Highly recommend!

Recommended - Great trip! Aya was in communication all the time and quick, also, our tour leader gave a detailed agenda of the tour which was helpful. Just the Monastery guide was like in a rush and not helpful with questions, however, I was not that interested on the Monastery tour so, for me it was ok as long as they gave us time to see the sunrise and come down calmly.

Excellent experience - Our guide Ramon who picked us up at the hotel was very helpful and very patient as was Sabah our other guide who accompanied us to the top of Sinai. Climbing Mount Sinai was very difficult but very rewarding, it's really worth it.

Exciting and an Adventourous tour!!! - We were picked up at 9pm from our hotel. Our guide Sayed was multilingual and spoke to each group giving details about our tour and what to expect. On the outskirts of Sharm El Sheikh we waited for all the other tour buses to gather and were escorted all the way to St Catharines's by a police escort. We stopped at a bedouin camp on the way for coffee and snacks and also a halt at the monastery store for those who wanted to buy icons and souvenirs. There were also jackets and caps on sale as it was very cold. I sincerely appreciate that they provided police escorts and also a security check before entering St Catherine's monastery for our safety. After security and once past the monastery we started our climb up Mt Sinai. It was very dark and our bedouin guide Aeid was kind and lent us his torch. The climb itself was exhilirating, especially in the dark with all the stars visble in the night sky. There were tents selling coffee, tea, noodles , woollen caps and ponchos,etc every 15 to 20 mins, so the climb itself didnt feel all that long. There were also a lot of camel owners on the way offering camel rides to those who were not able to do the climb. The last 750 steps can get slippery due to the mist, so its advisable to wear a good grip hiking shoes. Just before the last climb to the summit we waited inside a bedouin store and sipped some hot coffee and rented a blanket as it was very cold up the summit and the temperature that night was ranging below zero degree celcius. Just before dawn we resumed and climbed up the last few steps to reach the summit. I have no words to describe the beauty of the place and we were holding our breaths just to see the first ray of the sun. We were above the clouds and it was the perfect sunrise I ever saw. There is a small mosque and a chapel at the summit which we visited after sunrise. It was a beautiful walk all the way down and we met our guide at the monastery gate. The monsatery is old and beautiful and houses the burning bush and the well of Moses. We were given plenty of time to look around and then finally made our way back to the bus . We reached our hotel in Sharm El Sheikh around 2.30pm after dropping off most of the passengers. For me personally, this was one of my favourite tours. It felt adventourous to do a night hike in the desert and to have such wonderful guides like Sayed and Aeid, who were always full of information and very enthusiastic to share it.

The best place - The experience was unique, the entire staff made us feel comfortable and safe, we were a group of 4 girls. It was all very nice.

Long, intensive and hard climb, but a beautiful experience. Bring enough money/clothes/food (for animals)! - It was a very long and intensive trip. It also was a very hard climb, we didn’t expect it that heavy! But it was beautiful and an adventure to experience once. Our guide Mohamed was very helpful! We actually didn’t know we needed to have enough money with us for other things, like for riding camels, children who are selling souvenirs, toilets, tips for the guides etc. So bring enough money to not feel oncomfortabele during the trip. PS: whether you’re an animal lover or not, bring some food for the hungry animals there as they seem to live only on what the tourists give them in the hot desert. Especially the dogs at the very beginning / very end of the trip, near the buses and police / army post. It’s really sad to see them being so thin..

Heavy trip, but a special experience (bring enough money/food) - It was hard, we didn't expect it that heavy, but it was beautiful and an adventure to experience once! We only didn't know we needed to have enough money with us for other things, like for riding camels, children who are selling souvenirs, toilets, tips for the guide etc. So bring enough money with you to feel comfortable during the trip. PS: Whether you are an animal lover or not, bring some food for them, because the emaciated animals only seem to survive on the little bits that tourists give them in the hot desert. Especially the dogs at the very beginning / very end of the trip at the police/army, at the busstop are really thin and very poor to see..

the sites + kind bedouin > mis-operation of tour company - . Wish the "bus" was not a van. . Wish we did not change the vans. . Wish I could keep sleeping along the highway.(the cafe as break time was rediculously noisy. ) . Wsh we knew detailed time schdule before our trip containing polis convoy, break time along the highway, arrival at the start of climbing, sunrise time, re-gathering time at the monastery.

Bad experience with the local orginiser! - Mount Sinai and St.Caterine monastir is very good, but not with this organiser and guide Ahmed! Very cocky man! The transfers from and to the hotels were really long and bad! They could do better, when after the climb to 2.280 meters and a sleepless night we were dead tired, but still came back very late at 2 pm the next day! They could hire more vans for a swift transfers back to the hotels and not the old smelly bus, waiting from hotel to hotel to come eventually your stop!
