Sunrise Hike to Mount Sinai
Mount Sinai is one of the most renowned tourist spots in Egypt. It is also known as the St. Catherine Hike and is home to the sacred pilgrimage site of St Catherine’s cathedral. There are two trails en route to the mountain. The oldest and easiest is the Camel trail, which is an upward-going trail. The name, as it suggests, is due to the trail's flatness, which allows camel rides to the summit. The second trail taken while travelling back to the monastery at the foot of the mountain is called the steps of repentance. It is famous for the 3750 steps believed to have been made by a repenting monk. A local guide and Government clearance are mandatory to hike the sacred mountain.
The mountain is located in St Catherine town in Qesm, Sharm El Sheikh. Referred to as Mount Moses, it is widely believed to be the site of the Biblical burning bush and the place where Moses received the Ten Commandments.
