The experience

About this tour

Mount Moses in Sinai is the mountain where, according to religious tradition, Moses (peace be upon him) received the tablets. It stands at about 2,285 metres above sea level, and there are two main ways to reach the summit: the Steps of Repentance, the oldest route, with around 3,750 stone steps, and the camel path, which takes longer but is gentler and has beautiful views.

Most people make the trip at night so they reach the top at dawn and watch the sun rise over the mountains, which is one of the most beautiful moments of the whole trip. At the summit there is a small chapel and a small mosque, and both can be visited.

From Sharm Joy we offer a complete package that includes transport from the hotel, a guide and water. You can choose to ride a camel for part of the way or walk the whole route on foot.
