Moses Mountain – Sunrise and Monastery Trek

Your Moses Mountain adventure begins in the evening with a pickup from your hotel in Sharm El Sheikh. From there, you’ll travel through the Sinai desert toward St. Catherine, arriving around midnight.

After a short rest and briefing, you’ll begin your ascent of moses mountain, guided by experienced Bedouins. The climb takes approximately 2–3 hours, depending on pace, and follows a well-known path used for centuries. For those wondering how long was Moses on the mountain, tradition says 40 days—but your journey captures a symbolic glimpse of that sacred connection.

Along the way, rest stops offer tea and moments to reflect under the stars. As you approach the summit, the atmosphere becomes quieter, more profound—an experience that truly defines moses on the mountain.

Reaching the top just before sunrise, you’ll witness one of the most breathtaking views in Egypt as light spreads across the rugged peaks.

Sunrise & Monastery Visit

After sunrise at Moses Mountain, begin your descent toward the base, where a new chapter of the journey awaits.

You’ll visit the historic St. Catherine Monastery, located at the foot of the moses ten commandments mountain. This UNESCO-listed site is one of the oldest working monasteries in the world and holds deep religious significance.

Explore its ancient walls, learn about its history, and see sacred sites including the Burning Bush area. The visit adds rich cultural and historical context to your spiritual journey.

Afterward, enjoy some time to relax before beginning your return trip to Sharm El Sheikh, arriving in the early afternoon with unforgettable memories of your mountain moses adventure.
