★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 698 reviews · 17 hours · from $50

Leave Sharm El Sheikh at night, climb Mount Sinai with a Bedouin guide, watch sunrise from 2,285 meters, and visit St. Catherine’s Monastery. Guides may include Jimmy, Mohammad, Ibrahim, Ashrof, or Amr. Bring sturdy shoes, layers, cash, food, and a headlamp.

“This trip is far more authentic and memorable than the day trips to Dahab and Rus Al Mohamed National Park which are overly touristic and crowded. The hike is a moderate difficulty (need runners and good supply of water), doing it during the night means it's colder and much more bareable. Camels are available if you are struggling. The sunset is spectacular at the top. Guide did a great job of organising everything and keeping to time. Would recommend!”
