Sharm El Sheikh: Private Mount Sinai Sunrise Tour

Stand at the summit of one of humanity's most spiritually significant peaks as the first rays of dawn paint the ancient Sinai mountains in gold and rose. This exclusive private tour departs Sharm El Sheikh in the late evening, allowing you to arrive at the base of Mount Sinai after midnight and begin the iconic ascent under a canopy of brilliant stars. Your private licensed guide accompanies you every step of the way, sharing the rich religious and historical significance of this mountain sacred to three of the world's major religions — Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The approximately three-hour climb follows the traditional Camel Path, a gentler gradient suitable for most fitness levels, passing ancient wells, Bedouin rest stations where hot tea is available, and small chapels hewn from the rock face. As you near the summit, the temperature drops sharply and the horizon begins to glow with the approaching dawn. Blankets are provided for the final ascent to the 2,285-metre peak. The sunrise, viewed from the Steps of Repentance and the summit chapel, is an experience that many describe as profoundly moving and life-changing. After savouring the views over the jagged, dawn-lit Sinai plateau, you descend via the same path or the more challenging Steps of Repentance, arriving at St. Catherine's Monastery in time for an optional visit before the return journey to Sharm El Sheikh.
