    Fun, fit and fabulous!

    Long but rewarding. Our experience was excellent from the drive to the hike and all points in between. Be mindful that you have to have good cardiovascular fitness for this trip. It is not for the weak. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable and took great care. We felt safe the entire time and the only regrets I have it that I should have worn hiking shoes not trainers. It is a moderate hike in difficulty, add to that the lack of sleep and warm weather it made for quite a challenge. Our driver Mohamed and tour guide Zacharia were professional and tended to our needs. I wish we were at the summit long before sunrise to have a good rest before the descent, we seemed to have arrived late to the foot of the mountain. I don’t know if it is usual but the drive was unnecessarily long which delayed us with many stops and checkpoints but apparently necessary for tourists. Loved it and our pictures and memories will last a lifetime. Thank you for the experience ! If I am of good health I would come again. Don’t worry about June weather, it is breezy and cool at the summit and you are back in the air conditioned car by 10am

    Response from the operator: So delighted to hear that you had a great time and so happy that we could help make your holiday a special and memorable time for you , I would like to mention that there's not Air travel from hurghada to Aswan! We hope to see you again soon Thank you so much for choosing to be a customer and a friend of trip tip Egypt

    Mount Sinai Climb and St Catherine Tour - Sharm El Sheikh: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Mount Sinai Climb and St Catherine Tour - Sharm El Sheikh cost?

    +

    Prices start at $45 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 Mount Sinai Climb and St Catherine Tour - Sharm El Sheikh take?

    +

    Plan for about 16 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 Mount Sinai Climb and St Catherine Tour - Sharm El Sheikh worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 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 Mount Sinai Climb and St Catherine Tour - Sharm El Sheikh?

    +

    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 Mount Sinai Climb and St Catherine Tour - Sharm El Sheikh suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 16-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Mount Sinai Climb and St Catherine Tour - Sharm El Sheikh?

    +

    Around 1 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 16-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Mount Sinai Climb and St Catherine Tour - Sharm El Sheikh 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 Safari ATV Quad with Camel Ride & hotel transfer, Sharm El Sheikh: Ras Mohammed Snorkeling, Allah Gate & Magic Lake, Sharm El-Sheikh: Ultimate ATV Quad, Stargazing & BBQ Dinner. 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.

    What is included in Mount Sinai Climb and St Catherine Tour - Sharm El Sheikh?
