Mount Sinai Overnight Trip from Sharm El Sheikh – Sunrise & St. Catherine Monastery
Description
Embark on a mystical overnight journey to Mount Sinai, departing your hotel around 8 pm in a comfortable air-conditioned vehicle. As you travel through the star-lit desert landscape, anticipation builds for your encounter with this sacred mountain. Arriving at the base around 11 pm, take a moment to refresh with coffee or snacks at a nearby hotel before beginning your 3.5-hour ascent. For part of the climb, you may choose the traditional camel ride experience, though all visitors must complete the final steps on foot to reach the 2,285-meter summit. Arriving before dawn, you'll witness one of nature's most breathtaking spectacles as the sun rises over the rugged Sinai peaks, illuminating the small chapel and mosque that crown this holy site. After descending, enjoy a hearty breakfast before visiting the legendary St. Catherine's Monastery - a living testament to early Christianity that safeguards priceless ancient manuscripts in its world-renowned library.
