Your adventure begins at 20:00 with a comfortable pick-up from Sharm El Sheikh; after a brief rest stop en route you arrive at the foot of Moses Mountain (Mount Sinai), where around midnight an experienced guide leads you through the ascent—wear sturdy shoes, bring a flashlight, and if you wish ride a camel for the first section (extra). The final 700 steps are on foot to reach the 2 285 m summit in time for a breathtaking sunrise over the Sinai peaks. Following descent, visit the UNESCO-listed St. Catherine’s Monastery—home to the Burning Bush, centuries-old icons, manuscripts and sacred relics—then enjoy a light snack in the peaceful grounds. You’ll return to Sharm El Sheikh around 14:00, filled with unforgettable memories of spiritual heights, natural beauty and timeless history.
