About Mount Sinai
Revered across Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, Mount Sinai draws pilgrims and hikers alike to its windswept summit. The classic experience is an overnight climb timed to reach the top as the sun rises over the surrounding desert mountains — a quietly spectacular moment that rewards the effort.
Most visitors come on a guided tour from the Red Sea resorts that includes transfers, a local Bedouin guide for the ascent, and a stop at the ancient St. Catherine's Monastery. Two routes lead up: the gentler camel path and the steeper Steps of Repentance.
