Saint Catherine is more than just a historical site; it's a unique destination that blends spiritual heritage with rugged natural beauty. Unlike the bustling beach resorts of Sharm El Sheikh, this high-altitude city offers a quiet retreat perfect for adventurers, spiritual seekers, and nature lovers. ​Key Attractions & Experience ​Mount Sinai (Jebel Musa): The main draw for many is the climb to the summit of Mount Sinai. Whether you ascend at night to witness the unforgettable sunrise or hike during the day, the experience is profoundly spiritual and physically rewarding. The journey up the mountain, with its winding paths and stunning desert views, is an adventure in itself. ​Saint Catherine's Monastery: A UNESCO World Heritage site, this is the oldest continuously inhabited Christian monastery in the world. Located at the foot of Mount Sinai, it's a living piece of history. The monastery's ancient walls hold priceless religious icons, a magnificent library of manuscripts, and the revered Burning Bush. ​Breathtaking Nature: The city is set in a dramatic landscape of mountains and desert valleys. The cool, crisp air is a welcome change from the coastal heat. The area is a fantastic spot for hiking and exploring a diverse range of trails, from gentle walks to challenging climbs. ​The Bedouin Culture ​A trip to Saint Catherine is incomplete without experiencing the local Bedouin culture. The local tribes, who have called this land home for centuries, are incredibly welcoming. You can enjoy traditional Bedouin hospitality, stay in a mountain camp, and savor authentic local food, like Bedouin tea and "Farasheeh" bread, learning about their rich heritage and way of life. ​The Final Word ​Saint Catherine is a truly special place for those seeking a unique and enriching experience. It's a destination that encourages reflection and adventure, offering a deep sense of peace far from the crowds. If you're looking to connect with history, nature, and spirituality, Saint Catherine is an...

Amaizing. Camels stars beduins, mountain. We came from Dahab by car. Few check points on the way. We start at 11.30pm, 2.00am start the hike.. it abou 3 hours up on the very nice trail...you get a guide at the entrance fo 800ep per car +tip. On the way you will be offered camel ride up or down (easy and nice experience). Everithing is offered by "jebeliya"- moutain peple beduin tribe. Once you are up the moutain take a tea in the shalter, under blanked if cold...to wait for sunrise on top. At the end you can visit monestary in the morning. After we were lucky to ve envited to Beduins house in the city for a tea. Amazing to se all the womens preparing the weding... they have such big hearts! We meet the family and this is amazing. Take notice that every cent you spend on the way up the mountaing, goes for family and scholing (guys have to provide for family) they are "modern beduins" as they call eachother. I recomend to spend one night in st catarina we were very...

1 ـ مبدئيا لازم تبقى عارف وعامل حساب الطريق على حسب أنت جاى منين، مثلا لو من القاهرة الطريق هياخد معاك 6 أو 7 ساعات تقريبًا، على حسب الكماين، من المنصورة من 8 إلى 9 ساعات تقريبًا.. دول المدينتين والمسافات اللى أنا أعرفهم غير كدة لازم تسأل.

2 ـ اعمل حسابك هتقعد كام يوم يعني كل اللي في كاترين من أماكن أثرية وصعود الجبل ياخد يومين بالكتير.. لازم تبقى عامل حسابك في أكل مثلا ومياه، على حسب طول الطريق، ولأن كل حاجة في كاترين غالية وأصلا البلد كلها عبارة عن نص شارع من شوارع القاهرة.. في أماكن تشتري منها حتى وأنت طالع الجبل بس طبعًا غالي دوس على نفسك وشيل شوية أو على حسب حالتك المادية.

3 ـ لازم تعمل حسابك في خط موبينيل عشان شبكة فودافون هناك مش موجودة لمدة ساعة في طريق الدخول لكاترين وضعيفة في داخل المدينة جدًا ومش هتبقى موجودة في الجبل، طبعا لو حالتك المادية كويسة أو بتسافر برة مصر ومعاك خطوط هات معاك خط التليفونات فوق بتلقط لحد عمان والسعودية وإسرائيل وقطر وغيره كمان، خط موبينيل جوة البلد بـ 30 جنيه.

4 ـ لو رايح كدة من دماغك فاسأل هناك عن دليل يطلع معاك الجبل وده سهل مش هتدور كتير يعني، لأن زي ما وضحت البلد صغيرة جدًا.. اسأل أي حد الدليل بيطلع بجروب 50 شخصًا بـ 110 جنيه، طبعًا لو أكتر من كدة حاجة بسيطة هيبقى جروب واحد، إنما لو العدد كبير هيبقى جروبين.. الجروب كامل بيدفع 110.

5 ـ وأنت طالع الجبل اعمل حسابك في كوتش نضيف يكون نعله جامد ويستحمل الصخر اللي هتدوس عليه  .

6 ـ جاكت جاكت جاكت لازم جاكت عشان أنا من فترة لما روحت في شهر 9، والمفروض إنه حر كنا متلجين وإحنا على الأرض قبل ما نطلع.

7 ـ مياه: خد معاك إزازتين مياة لو مثلا 4 أشخاص، لكن شرب المياة الكثير بيتعب في طلوع الجبل.

8 ـ اللى عنده مشاكل في النفس ممكن يطلع شوية وفي استراحات في الطريق يستنى فيها الجروب لحد ما ينزله وبرضه ممكن يشوف من مكانه منظر الشروق والغروب.

9 ـ لو في حد سنه كبير في جمال بتطلع بس لحد أول استراحه.. لو هتطلع الجبل للآخر حاول مطولش في الاستراحات عشان عضل رجليك ميفكش ويبقى الموضوع صعب.

10 ـ ماتتغرش في نفسك وتسبق الدليل عشان بتبقى ماشي على ضوء القمر وفي لحظة ممكن تلاقي نفسك في وسط الجبل ومحدش عارف مكانك.

11 ـ بنأكد تاني على المياة عشان وأنت نازل هتبقى في عز الحر وهتتعب أوى

12 ـ اعمل حسابك إنك تبقى متوضي في مسجد فوق لو وصلت قبل الفجر الصلاة فوق إحساس تاني وممكن التيمم   .

13 ـ حاول تتمشي كتير قبل ما تروح لأن مع الضغط المفاجئ على الرجل في الطلوع والنزول رجلك هتتكسر كأنك أول يوم راجع من الجيم.

14 ـ طبعا وجود كاميرا نضيفة ده مش محتاج كلام لأن دي أيام مش هتتعوض.

15 ـ لو هتروح من نفسك كدة في أتوبيس واحد بيطلع من القاهرة تقريبًا الساعة 12.. أما من هناك مش عارف إيه المواعيد بس برضه هو أتوبيس واحد، وفي ميكروباص هناك بيطلع الساعة 2 ونص بيروح طور سيناء ومن هناك في أتوبيسات كتير في محطة شرق الدلتا.

16 ـ ماتبخلش على نفسك بفلوس في جيبك كتير احتياطي يعني، بس أنت مش هتحتاجها كتير يعني.

17 ـ يفضل يكون معاك شنطة ضهر عشان ماتسببش أي إعاقه في طلوع الجبل.

18 ـ طلوع الجبل بياخد وقت كبير ممكن تعمل حسابك مثلا في لاب يكون مشحون عشان لما التليفون يقرب يفصل تشحنه من اللاب عشان أهلك مايقلقوش عليك.

19 ـ آخر حاجة للشباب بلاش تاخد بنت معاك سواء أختك أو خطيبتك 😀 عشان يا إما هترخم عليك وتضطر تقعد جمبها في أول استراحة لأنها هتتعب يا إما هتضطر تنزل من فوق...

Take notice that every cent you spend on the way up the mountaing, goes for family and scholing (guys have to provide for family) they are "modern beduins" as they call eachother. I recomend to spend one night in st catarina we were very tired- no sleep.

Сложно в подъеме. Подъем занял 3 часа и спуск тоже. Тропа предназначена для туристов. На гору можно подняться только с гидом

In our photo on top of mount Sinai we can see a face in the clouds. A wonderful, majestic holy mount of Sinai (Moses mount). We were in winter time, it was a very very strong wind, after climb to the top of the mount of Sinai a guide told us that the best time to climb is in the spring time. Not every pilgrim can climb to the top, when left about 40 minutes to the top - starts steep, tight, heavy stairs. To climb to the top of the mount of Sinai and down takes about 6 hours. On the top of the mount there were clouds very close to us. A guide told us that sometimes clouds are below the top of this mount. At the top is one Muslim chapel and one Christian chapel. A temperature at the top was about +2 degrees C, a temperature by red sea was 25 degrees C. We was two pilgrims from Lithuania.
