Itinerary
-
Mount Moses Trekking, Sunrise & Monastery Visit
- You will be picked up from your hotel in Sharm El Sheikh city between 8:00 PM and 9:00 PM. Then, you will travel in an air-conditioned vehicle for around 4 hours to reach Moses Mountain.
- When you arrive at Mount Sinai, you will start your trekking tour to the sacred place where the Prophet Moses received the Ten Commandments.
- Reach 2,285 meters by climbing up 750 steps and strolling through the night (approximately 2-3 hours depending on the customers). Depending on the group's performance, you may arrive at the summit earlier than expected. This will allow you to relax and marvel at the rising sun slowly scattering across the mountains in all its splendour.
- While gazing at the sunrise, snap awesome photos or pray if you wish to, then begin the descent back down. Remember, it will take around 2 hours to reach the bottom.
- Enjoy some rest after the long trail, and then have breakfast. Next, visit the UNESCO World Heritage Site of St. Catherine's Monastery. Browse through the old manuscripts displayed in the library and icons excavated from the Vatican. It is the oldest functioning Christian monastery in the world, situated on the Sinai Peninsula, along with the Monastery of Saint Anthony, located across the Red Sea in the desert of South Cairo.
- After touring the monastery, you can relax on the drive back to your hotel in Sharm El Sheikh.
