Mt. Sinai Sunset Walk – 2 days

Mt. Sinai, the Mount Horeb of the Old Testament, is holy ground to the three monotheistic faiths and along with the St. Catherine’s monastery, has become a major stop on Egypt’s tourist track. Every day hundreds of pilgrims are shuttled in to make the traditional sunrise climb. This time is more convenient for large tour operators, who can use the rest of the day to drive their customers to their next destination. At Sheikh Sina, we think that sunset is just as stunning, and that crowds are more of a distraction than an ‘experience’. We thus offer a two day hike up and around Mt. Sinai, away from the main path leading to the hotels, and up the backside’s “valley of the forty martyrs” - Wadi el Arbaein. >>> more
