Of course, you need to travel to Sinai in a special mood. Amazing landscape, which in many ways does not resemble the earth, beautiful sunsets, incomparable desert landscape. This place is unforgettable. In its spiritual significance, Sinai is the greatest shrine of Christianity and the Jewish people.

At Sinai, like Moses several millennia ago, you can “talk with God.” It was here that Moses received the tablets with the 10 commandments, which became the moral basis for all mankind. The sanctity of this place is revered in all religions, it is a real moral cradle of humanity and human culture.

Pilgrims climb to Sinai every evening and meet the dawn in the morning. There is a Christian chapel and a mosque on the mountain so that you can pray, ask for protection from Saint Catherine and hide from the weather. It is believed that in this place all human sins are forgiven, it is here that people who experience mental anguish and guilt aspire. Since ancient times, the religious pilgrimage to Sinai has been a special piety.

Departure for the excursion is carried out from Sharm el-Sheikh. The last group departs at approximately 20:50. A comfortable bus will take you to the foot of the mountain in 3 hours. From here, under the guidance of a guide, begins a three-hour trek to the top of 2285 m above sea level.

A long path will lead you to a 700-step stone staircase. Having overcome this last part of the climb, you will find yourself on the top of the mountain. The ascent lasts 3 hours (from 01:00 to 04:00). The time was not chosen by chance, having a little rest after the ascent, you will be rewarded for your hard work by the view of the sunrise, which on the top of Mount Moses is more beautiful than anywhere else.

If the path turns out to be beyond your strength, it will take 60 e. pounds to rent a camel that will take you to the top of the stairs. After descending from the mountain, you will visit the monastery of St. Catherine, which has been operating continuously for 16 centuries.
