About this experience

Embark on a captivating journey starting move at 8:30 PM from your Sharm hotel. A scenic 4-hour coach ride will lead us to the base of Moses Mountain, where an enchanting night climb of around 750 steps awaits. In about 5 hours, you'll stand atop Mount Sinai's summit, greeted by the breathtaking sunrise panorama. As the day breaks, we'll descend towards the iconic St. Catherine Monastery, a 2–3-hour journey. Spend 1 hours taking rest and exploring the wonders within the monastery's walls — from an eleventh-century mosque to an Orthodox Greek monastery nestled like a fortress. The church's interior cradles Saint Catherine's revered remains, while on the opposite side, the sacred Holy Valley beckons. It's here that Moses was instructed by God to remove his shoes, a testament to the holiness of the land. Our anticipated return to the hotel is around 2 PM, marking the end of an unforgettable journey of spirituality and history.

Moses, Sinai Mount & St Catherine Monastery Tour from Sharm: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sharm el Sheikh.

How much does Moses, Sinai Mount & St Catherine Monastery Tour from Sharm cost?

+

Prices start at $36 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Sharm el Sheikh usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does Moses, Sinai Mount & St Catherine Monastery Tour from Sharm take?

+

Plan for about 18 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Sharm el Sheikh is not rushed.

Is Moses, Sinai Mount & St Catherine Monastery Tour from Sharm worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.1/5 across 14 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Sharm el Sheikh, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Moses, Sinai Mount & St Catherine Monastery Tour from Sharm?

+

Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

Is Moses, Sinai Mount & St Catherine Monastery Tour from Sharm suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 5. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 18-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Moses, Sinai Mount & St Catherine Monastery Tour from Sharm?

+

Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Sharm el Sheikh can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

What should I bring or wear?

+

Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Sharm el Sheikh and add a light layer if any part of the 18-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Moses, Sinai Mount & St Catherine Monastery Tour from Sharm start and how do I get there?

+

The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Sharm el Sheikh within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

What are the best things to do in Sharm el Sheikh?

+

On Outty we rank every Sharm el Sheikh experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Sharm El Sheikh: Ras Mohammed Snorkeling, Allah Gate & Top Sights, ATV Quad Bike & Camel Ride, Echo Mountain – Sharm El Sheikh, Sharm : Cairo Excursion by Flight, Pyramid GEM or Ancient Museum. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

When is the best time to visit Sharm el Sheikh?

+

Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

How many days do you need in Sharm el Sheikh?

+

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

+

Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
