A huge thank you for all the tours, for your customer focus, attentiveness and quick responses. Thanks to you, our holiday was filled with vivid colours. We will absolutely recommend your company!

Natalie V.

We had a wonderful trip to Mount Moses. The transfer was on time, the guide gave a fascinating commentary, and we made it to the top. It was actually quite comfortable — we'd expected it to be far harder physically.

Laura M.

This was already my third climb up Mount Moses — it's become a tradition. You need either good fitness or strong faith. If you have one of the two, you'll definitely make it to the top!

Gregory P.

Superbly organised excursion! Quick online booking, the guides really are English-speaking, and the tour was stunning. Highly recommend!

Daniel (Brighton)

The trip to Mount Moses and the visit to the monastery made a powerful impression on us. We recharged completely and made our most cherished wishes. Thank you, Sharm Tours!

What you get

Tour programme

Hotel pickup

Departure from Sharm in a comfortable tourist coach in the evening (the time depends on your hotel's location).

Climbing Mount Moses

Torch in hand, late at night and accompanied by an experienced guide, you'll make a steady ascent up the mountain to greet a breathtaking sunrise at the top. The climb takes 3–4 hours (7 km) — a gentle winding path followed by the 750 "Steps of Penitence". There are rest stops along the trail selling hot and cold drinks.

Descending Mount Moses

The way back down the mountain is much quicker and easier.

St. Catherine Monastery

In the morning you'll visit St. Catherine Monastery — set at the foot of Mount Moses and named after St. Catherine. The entire monastery complex is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Return transfer to Sharm El Sheikh

The journey back to Sharm is on a comfortable, air-conditioned tourist coach, with stops at designated rest areas along the way.
