Mount Sinai Tours and Tickets

Take in sunrise from Mount Sinai and explore St. Catherine's Monastery on a 16-hour day trip from Sharm El Sheikh. Walk alongside a Bedouin guide - and follow in Moses' legendary footsteps - as you hike a narrow path to the mountain summit; watch the sun illuminate the Sinai Desert's arid peaks and jumbled hills. Enjoy a traditional breakfast then tour St. Catherine's monastery, whose high walls and devoted monks shelter Byzantine and Crusader art, ancient manuscripts and the the world's oldest working library.

Witness sunrise from Mt Sinai and visit St Catherine's Monastery on this private trip from Sharm el Sheikh. Leaving in the evening and traveling with a private guide, head into the southern Sinai desert as your guide shares the biblical history of this sacred mountain, where it's believed Moses received the Ten Commandments. Climb to the summit to experience a spectacular sunrise and then descend for a guided tour of St Catherine's Monastery's church and treasures. Afterward, return to Sharm el Sheikh, with a stop for lunch along the way.

Ride a camel into the Naama Desert on a 1-hour Sharm El Sheikh safari, and take in sweeping views of the rolling sand and the Sinai Mountains. Sway with your camel's ambling gait as you follow your guide through the stark terrain, then pause for a cup of tea in a Bedouin camp before riding back out of the desert.

Watch sunrise from the top of Mount Sinai on a hiking trip from Sharm el Sheikh to one of Egypt's highest mountains. You'll climb the 7,497-foot (2,285-mt.) peak in the predawn darkness, see first light illuminate the mountaintop chapel and mosque, then descend to the 6th-century Monastery of St. Catherine, built where Moses is believed to have seen the Burning Bush. With round-trip transport from Sharm el Sheikh, this is a great way to experience Mount Sinai and St. Catherine even if you have limited time in Egypt.
