Overview

A once in a lifetime adventure for the active traveller looking for a real challenge along with the most superb scenery and landscapes you will ever experience!
The most exciting biblical exploration of the Moses Mountain on the Sinai peninsular. At the very top of this breathtaking mountain, was the place that it was said Moses stood and was given the ten commandments from God while he looked across at the promised land.
This holy place and Moses is mentioned not only in the Bible, but mentioned also in the Torah and the Qur’an. The best time to experience the incredible views and feel the importance of this historical mountain is to witness the sunrise to capture everything that it stands for. Be prepared to get some sleep during the afternoon and early evening in order to fulfil this epic adventure. The average climb can take anywhere between 2 to 3 hours to reach the summit at a height of Mount Sinai, 2,285 metres and approximately 750 steps with a much quicker descent returning to base.

What you will do

Itinerary:

Early dinner at your hotel before a 9pm pick up. Your Guide will accompany you on an air conditioned bus for the drive to Moses Mountain.
On arrival your guide will help you prepare for your climb to the summit with an experienced climbing guide. During the climb you will have spectacular views of the night sky. On arrival at the summit you will have time to rest and take in the surrounding views of the mountains and countryside before watching the highlight of the climb when the sun rises above the whole region to give a breath taking view. The time of the sun rise will depend of the time of year you are on the Sinai Peninsular. Imagine you were Moses looking across to the promised land as described in the holy scriptures.
Once you have descended the mountain and arrived back at base, you will be taken for a well needed breakfast at a local restaurant before being driven back to your hotel in Sharm El Sheik around mid morning to midday.
Breakfast included on tour.
