Very nice trip! - Good organization. Beautiful sunrise. I liked that our guides were really thinking about everybody, you could take snacks and coffee/tea almost every 2 km. Also, if you are tired, you could take a camel to the highest part of the mountain. The hardest thing for me was not sleeping for the whole night. Sunrise is perfect, worth it!

Spectacular sunrise on Mount Sinai - The night climb to see the sunrise from Mount Sinai was spectacular, organized in detail, with advice that was very useful both on clothing and snacks to bring. The visit then attached to the return to the monastery of Santa Caterina very pretty! Indescribable colors! Experience that we recommend to everyone

Incredible spiritual, once in a lifetime experience - Truly extraordinary trip, with excellent organization. I highly recommend doing this trip if you are staying in the Sharm region. The views are just insane but it is physically challenging. Especially the cold at the top. Please do not underestimate how cold it is at the top. I was wearing 9 layers and was still freezing.
Special thanks to our Bedouin guides Mahmood and Hosni for getting us up and down safely, with enough stops along the way to make sure the entire group was following. Also big thanks to Ahmed, other Ahmed and our driver Mohammed for the accompaniment throughout the day.
Truly amazing and spiritual experience. Good level of physical fitness really is needed though. The views are insane.

Not suitable for people who are not minimally fit. - The experience itself is extraordinary, what I won’t leave out is how crowded everything is and the constant harassment of children asking you to buy them, food and money.
Let the guide propose to tip the Bedouin guide and still less pay two dollars to the museum that was supposed to include the visit.
The information offered by the guide can be searched anywhere.
The driver was more than enough.

Title: A very good choice - Mount Sinai trip is a challenging but rewarding experience, with amazing views from the summit. St. Catherine's Monastery is a historical and spiritual treasure. It was our first time booking with this operator and never regret dealing with them. From the time of booking they communicated with us giving us all instructions and comments we were happy with this caring. Their staff and Bedouin guides are knowledgeable and very helpful. Of course I highly recommend it.

Experience never to forget - Khaled and Ahmed are nice guides that try to give you the best experience. The adventure is something never to forget. The views are breathtaking and it felt like an expidition. Truly an experience never to forget. However, the bedouins should more attentive when bad weather conditions arise! Egypt is experiencing unusual weather changes now and they should have been more adapting to the situation. Overall good experience with nice views

majestic site, deplorable organization - The site is majestic and steeped in spirituality; you must deserve the fantastic view and sunrise because the night climb is difficult and requires good physical condition and especially good equipment, negative temperatures at the summit and strong winds. A unique experience, unfortunately wasted by a deplorable organization: many hours wasted passing from hotel to hotel then during stops to and from gas stations to encourage tourists to consume or just for breaks of guides and drivers, nearly 2 hours waiting to sleep in a freezing cold at the top for sunrise (under shelter certainly but very uncomfortable), an aggressive guide and not able to communicate properly in English, a state of fatigue that unfortunately does not allow to appreciate the visit of the monastery following the ascent. In the end an excursion of 18H (!) from which we emerge exhausted (not recommended to young children) and well frustrated, despite a breathtaking natural site.
