It was very convenient to have a personal car pick me up directly from the hotel. The tour was paced nicely with a good rest stop half way along the drive to the monastery and then with the lunch stop in Dahab on the way back. The monastery tour itself was very interesting and definitely worth the journey to go see.

Escursione al monastero di Santa Caterina, estremamente interessante e consigliabile a tutti, in quanto si tratta di un gioiello posto ai piedi del monte Sinai

Wir (2 Eltern + 1 Teenager) haben die Tour von Sharm el Sheikh zum Katharinenkloster sehr kurzfristig (am Nachmittag vorher) gebucht. Trotzdem hat alles ganz ausgezeichnet geklappt. Noch am selben Abend wurden die Pass-Daten für die Permits ausgetauscht. Ahmed und sein Fahrer haben uns dann früh morgens direkt am Hotel abgeholt und zügig und sicher durch die ganzen Checkpoints zum Ziel gebracht. Eine Frühstückspause an einer Tankstelle auf halber Strecke war ebenfalls eingeplant. Ahmed hat uns die Sehenswürdigkeiten sehr gut erklärt und konnte alle unsere Fragen beantworten. Auf dem Rückweg haben wir ein vorzügliches Mittagessen in Dahab direkt am Meer genossen. Wir haben uns jederzeit sicher gefühlt und können Ahmed als kompetenten Guide vorbehaltlos empfehlen! Vielen Dank für das tolle Erlebnis!

Tout était parfait. Un chauffeur très sécurisant et compétent. Un guide très au fait des différents aspects de notre périple. Ça peut paraître cher mais un chauffeur un guide une voiture le repas pour deux personnes. Avec la tranquillité d’adapter son parcours en fonction de ses envies c’est pas cher du tout.

Very interesting and also relaxing. But the tour is rather high-priced.

Davvero tutto molto bene, menzione particolare per la nostra guida Antonio molto preparato, indicazioni, aneddoti e curiosità molto chiare molto professionali. Con l’autista di cui non ricordo il nome formano un ottimo team per questo genere di escursioni. Super consigliata.
