An unforgettable route - An unforgettable route - a night climb of about 7 km up the mountain on a fairly flat road, then 750 steep steps and an amazing sunrise await you. Along the entire route (first every 2 km, then every km) there are stops where you can take a breath, drink tea or eat a flatbread. It is very cold on the mountain itself, the wind is strong, dress warmly, you can rent a blanket at the top. If things get really hard, you can ride a camel.
