Mount Sinai rises 2,285 meters and is the sacred site where Moses is believed to have received the Ten Commandments. The sunrise hike is an unforgettable spiritual experience. The climb takes 2-3 hours via 750 steps. Tours from Sharm El Sheikh depart around 8-9pm, with about 4 hours travel to reach the mountain. Camels can be rented for part of the ascent (around $25).
Price includes transport and guide from Sharm. Camel rental approximately $25 extra. Bring warm clothes for cold summit
Sunrise hike is the quintessential experience. Best in spring (March-May) or autumn (September-November). Avoid summer heat. Winter can be very cold at summit
