Witness the mesmerizing sunrise from the summit of Mount Sinai during a captivating hiking expedition originating in Sharm el Sheikh. Embark on a journey to one of Egypt's loftiest peaks, standing at an impressive altitude of 7,497 feet (2,285 meters). As you ascend this magnificent mountain before daybreak, you will be enveloped by the predawn darkness, only to be greeted by the ethereal illumination of the mountaintop chapel and mosque as the first rays of light grace the horizon. After this awe-inspiring spectacle, your descent will lead you to the remarkable Monastery of St. Catherine, a sacred site dating back to the 6th century.
