It’s located in heart of the Sinai Peninsula at a height of 1570 meters in the place where according to the tradition Moses saw the bush on fire which didn’t burn up. The Monastery is Orthodox and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The monastery dates back to the age of the emperor Justinian 6th century. It was the same time of building an enclosure wall surrounding the monastery right now but the monastery was named Saint Catherine at the beginning of the 11th century in honor of saint Catherine, one of the earliest Alexandria Christian martyrs. It contains several monuments like the burning bush seen by Moses and the remarkable Icons Gallery. Then return back to your hotel in Dahab.

Treacherous climb!

Published on Apr, 2024

The guide was very helpful. Couple of group members struggled to climb the infamous 750 steps in pitch dark, the guide was always onhand to assist them. The climb was treacherous and it's not for the faint hearted. Once on the top, the view was amazing!

Horrible VAN, but extraordinary View.

Published on Oct, 2023

The Van model was from the 1900s - it was a washed-up van where they tried to fill in as many people as possible. It was very uncomfortable the ride towards the mountain. They could have provided a better option. A ride that would have taken 1.30 hours took only 1 hour. The climb is not an easy climb. Please prepare yourself. But once you reach there on the top, It's all worth it, we had a group singing gospel and reading the Bible. It's also very cold on the top.

Absolutely amazing

Published on Jun, 2023

For people who come from SEA like me, the weather at night is freezing cold, even it's in summer. Please be prepared, or you can rent a blanket from locals. The trail is easy to walk or even run.

Great experience for a fair price

Published on Apr, 2023

The trip was perfectly organised. We got all the necessary details for the tour beforehand at the agency. All our other (partly unrelated) questions were answered with patience and always in a friendly manner. The price was fair and everyone involved was super friendly and professional. Definitely recommended.

Must do activity - amazing sightseeing

Published on Apr, 2023

hike on the Sinai mountain (or Moses mountain) with a start late in the evening to see the sunrise at the top of the mountain - the local Bedouin hike with you at the top of the mountain >> 5 stars activity, must do. The driver picks you up and drop you off at your hotel. Activity reserved with Viator (46€), but you can find it way cheaper by reserving with your hotel (25€). In both ways of reservation you’ll be with people who reserved with different platform. Mandatory Equipment to take : head front light - walking shoes - very warm jackets and gloves.
