Mount Sinai climb
We start our journey up to the mountain in the early morning, Around 2 am you will meet your Bedouin guide who will lead you up to the top of the mountain. The path is smooth but it needs efforts and some physical training to keep up with your Bedouin guide. If you get tired, you can always hire a camel that will take you up to the mountain (optionally) but not to the pick! You will have to climb yourself the last 750 stairs, cut in the rocks. So, be prepared for your journey and dress accordingly. Comfy shoes and very warm closes in winter, including hat and gloves are recommended, as the temperature in the mountains drops to mines, and snowing is common there.

After 6.00 am you will start to go down the mountain, it does not take much time and max at 7.00 am you will be already at the bottom of the Monastery of Saint Catherine.
