Experience

Highlights
  • Climb Sinai Mountain, where Moses received the Ten Commandments
  • Explore Saint Catherine's Monastery, a UNESCO World Heritage Site
  • Pass under the Suez Canal on the journey
Full description
On the first day, meet your guide in your hotel lobby and then head to Saint Catherine. On the way, travel under the Suez Canal, a world-famous canal which runs between Africa and Asia. Pass by the Oyun Musa, or Moses Spring, where the prophet found sweet water during the exodus from Egypt. Stop for lunch at a local restaurant, and your own expense, and finally arrive at the Saint Catherine area. Check-in at the St. Catherine Plaza Hotel and rest for the evening, with dinner included. At 2:00 AM the following night, you will have an early start to begin your climb to Mount Sinai. Enjoy breakfast at the hotel before you start your climb on the mountain where Moses received the Ten Commandments, accompanied by a local Bedouin guide. Once you descend, meet your guide who will give you a guided tour of Saint Catherine's Monastery. See the burning bush from Biblical lore. Afterwards, be transferred back to your hotel in Cairo.

Très belle expérience, l'ascension de nuit vous préserve de l'environnement, une fois en haut, le lever de soleil vous révèle un paysage magnifique, c'est magique ! Côté pratique, comme souvent mentionné, prenez des vêtements chauds : gants et bonnet ne sont pas superflus. Nous avons de plus loué des couvertures au coffee shop du sommet pour attendre et apprécier le lever du soleil. L'ascension est assez difficile mais si vous êtes en forme pas de souci, 2 heures de montée par un chemin bien praticable et 1 petite heure pour monter les 750 marches "taillées" dans la roche donc irrégulières. Prévoyez chapeaux et lunettes de soleil pour la descente, il fait chaud une fois le soleil levé. Côté logistique, 6 heures de route depuis le Caire. Pour notre part, nous étions logés au Sheikh Mousa Bedouin camp, très bien, propre, typique, le thé à la menthe au coin du feu est un moment sympa, on mange très correctement. Notre guide Mahmoud était très bien, attentionné et disponible. Inoubliable !
