From Sharm El Sheikh, you can enjoy one of the most impressive excursions to two of the mountains that form great importance in the history of Egypt. We will start our excursion with an unforgettable visit to the Sinai Mountains. Mount Moses, Mount Sinai, al-Tur, Horeb, or Mount Horeb is the mountain where the Lord gave Moses the Ten Commandments, according to the book of Deuteronomy of the Hebrew Bible. It is described in two places (in Exodus and in the Book of Kings) as “the mountain of God.". The mountain is also called Mount Jehovah.

You will also know that Moses Mountain is one of the most famous mountains in Sinai, as it is visited by thousands of tourists; the viewer from the top of the mountain can contemplate beautiful views of the surrounding mountain range, especially at sunrise and sunset, and is located near Mount Catalina (Mount Tor Sinai), where the Monastery of St. Catherine is located, and the mountain is surrounded by a group of peaks of the South Sinai Mountains.

After exploring Moses Mountain, we give you the opportunity to explore Mount Catherine, which is located in the South Sinai Governorate in Egypt, and it is considered one of the highest mountains in Sinai with a height of 2,629 meters above sea level. Snow falls on the mountain in the winter season, like the rest of the mountains of the South Sinai region.

The mountain is named in honor of Saint Catherine of Alexandria, one of the most important saints in the West, who played a major role in spreading Christianity and died for it. There is a monastery in the area called St. Catherine's Monastery, and the story goes that the monks of the monastery found her body at the top of the mountain, where she was executed in Alexandria, and then her body disappeared from Alexandria, and that angels placed her body at the top of the mountain.

The mountain is a tourist attraction that tourists visit and watch the sunrise and sunset from its summit, and the gulfs of Aqaba and Suez can be seen from the top.

Itinerary

Day Trip to Mount Sinai and St. Catherine's Monastery from Sharm El Sheikh

If you are looking for a unique sightseeing experience that combines adventure, history, and nature, the tour to Mount Moses and Mount St. Catherine from Sharm El Sheikh is the perfect choice for you. This tour will take you to the heart of Sinai, where you can climb Mount Moses and enjoy a magical sunrise from its summit, the place where the prophet Moses is said to have received the Ten Commandments.

Your day starts with a pick-up from your hotel in Sharm El Sheikh in a private air-conditioned car, where you will find one of our expert guides waiting to accompany you on your adventure.

Your excursion begins with an unforgettable visit to St. Catherine's Mountain, one of the world's oldest Christian monasteries and a significant historical and religious site in the area. It is distinguished by its extensive history, rare manuscript collection, and the "Burning Tree," which is thought to be the location where God spoke to Moses. The monastery's religious and historical displays include antiquated texts and artifacts that illustrate the development of Christianity in the area. Hours of operation: Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 11.30 p.m., excluding Sunday.

After that, we started another adventure to Moses Mountain, a mountain located in the South Sinai Governorate in Egypt; its height is 2285 meters above sea level. It was named Mount Moses after the Prophet Moses, who spoke to his Lord on this mountain and received the Ten Commandments according to Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.

Then you will stop at a good restaurant in Dahab for a delicious lunch on the way back. Known as one of the most spectacular cities in the South Sinai, Dahab is approximately 100 kilometers from Sharm. Lunch will be provided at a fine dining establishment by the sea, and you will have the opportunity to shop in the best and largest shopping district in the South Sinai Governorate, where you can buy local Egyptian handicrafts, carpets, jewelry, perfumes, papyrus, and other presents.
