1.Mount Moses Trekking, Sunrise & Monastery Visit

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

Night hike to Mount Sinai for sunrise, then St Catherine’s Monastery from Sharm. Tough steps, cold summit, good value at $50.

“Everything was really well organised. Immediate contact right after the booking with all the necessary details provided. During the trip everything as per the schedule. Really nice and friendly guides; from Sharm, as well as the Bedouins. The mountains are truly stunning. The trekking requires lots of energy, strength and determination not because it is very long, (7km one way is not that far in terms of trekking), however setting off at night and trekking during nighttime is more energy consuming. The trail is also extremely crowded and noisy. The hikers need to give way to camels while trekking. The Mountain View is amazing and it can be really cold…”

3.Mount Sinai Climb And St Catherine Monastery From Sharm El Sheikh

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 177 reviews · from $35

Sunrise on Mount Sinai from Sharm el Sheikh, then St Catherine Monastery and burning bush sites, with guided hike, transport, and torchlight.

“This is a really spiritual experience. Fair warning: please don't come to this tour expecting European or US niceties. This is an authentic Bedouin trek at its best, magical under the most extraordinary stars I've ever seen in skies anywhere. It is a tough physical challenge and if you can't handle a 20 km round trek over 8 gruelling hours from 0130 am to 0930 am at a heartrate-rising pace then please consider your fellow tourists and sit this one out. A beautiful, ethereal and moving experience to wait in silence for a magical sunrise at the summit between the tiny Orthodox Christian Church and the Mosque. Profound, quiet and…”

Hike Mount Sinai at night from Sharm el Sheikh for sunrise, then visit the St Catherine Monastery complex where Moses is linked to the Burning Bush.

“It takes some time to get up there, and hiking shoes are definitely a must. Don’t be too caught up in bringing water and food with you, as there are places to buy those along the way. In the end, the views up top are definitely definitely worth the grind!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 58 reviews · 15 hours · from $51

Sharm El Sheikh overnight hike to Mount Sinai for sunrise, then visit St. Catherine's Monastery with Bedouin guidance for $51.

“My Mount Sinai hike was truly extraordinary — an intense, spiritual, and unforgettable experience. The guide was excellent: professional, attentive, and always supportive throughout the journey. But a very special thank you goes to the Bedouins, Zacaraiah and Youseff, who were absolutely outstanding. They were kind, encouraging, and brought such positive energy to the entire climb. They truly made a difference. The only suggestion I would make is perhaps allowing slightly longer breaks, especially considering the size of the group. And although I understand it’s not directly the tour company’s responsibility, having only one restroom for so many people was quite challenging 😅 Overall, I high...”

Two days from Cairo to St Catherine with Giza and Egyptian Museum, overnight near Mount Sinai, plus a sunrise climb with Bedouin guidance.

10.Moses Mountain & Saint Catherine from Dahab

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 22 reviews · from $39

Late-night climb of Mount Sinai for sunrise, then visit St. Catherine's Monastery from Dahab. Air-conditioned transport, Bedouin guide, $39.

“Nice hike to view amazing sunrise, but don’t underestimate it. We started to walk at around 00:30 and we got to the summit at around 04:00. We took too many pauses and waited on top for more than two hours. You don’t sleep the whole night, it would be better if the start was later. We were upset about additional tips for driver. We didn’t got pick up at the hotel in Dahab, we had to get a taxi to the gates and also back. Experience is a little bit exhausting, so be prepared to sleep after the trip.”
