The Monastery is Orthodox and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The monastery dates back to the age of the emperor Justinian 6th century. It was the same time of building an enclosure wall surrounding the monastery right now but the monastery was named Saint Catherine at the beginning of the 11th century in honor of saint Catherine, one of the earliest Alexandria Christian martyrs. It contains several monuments like the burning bush seen by Moses and the remarkable Icons Gallery. Then return back to your hotel in Dahab.

Nice place and challenge with local vibe. Really great performance, beautiful place, stars are really close. Usually drivers pick up from the cafe on the bot, but our drives picked up us from the dropping point and we went additional hundreds meters.

Very dangerous tour. Injury is almost inevitable. Only for people with good physical fitness. We even rescued an injured person because no one else was there. This resulted in a total delay for the transfer. On the mountain, there were also definitely 100 people—total photo madness. Rip-off at the so-called cafes: 4 times the price for water. Otherwise, it was an exhausting but beautiful experience.

A great experience! Under the clear starry sky, it goes up to 2285 meters in altitude to see a beautiful sunrise. We were now on site in February and it was really cold upstairs! Please prepare clothing. On the way there are several small "huts" where you can snap and it is a little warmer. Approx. 50 meters below the summit is the last hut with hot drinks and the possibility to borrow a blanket for about 4 euros, which can also be taken up to the summit. Our guide was super nice. At about 9 am you are back at the parking lot.

I didn’t actually take the trip because, on that day, I did three scuba dives and realized it would be risky to go above 600 meters only 15 hours after. The tour company, however, was very kind and tried to find alternative solutions so I could still do the tour. They even offered me a very good price to reschedule for the next day, but unfortunately, I had to cancel again due to lingering post-dive symptoms. Highly recommended for their professionalism and understanding.

Once in your life you must climb this mountain. Its not possible to describe. Need to feel that spscial atmosphere. Hike at night is not easy, but worth milion times. When you see sunrise on the top of the mountain, it is just breath and mind taking. Do not forget warm clothes.
