Sunrise over the mountains of Sinai

Mount Sinai sunrise trip from Sharm El Sheikh: what to know

The sunrise is not the end of the walk. You still have the descent and the road journey back, sometimes followed by a monastery stop. Pack for the whole outing and discuss the route before booking if stairs or uneven ground are difficult for you. Keep the rest of the return day light.

The sunrise is not the end of the walk. You still have the descent and the road journey back, sometimes followed by a monastery stop. Pack for the whole outing and discuss the route before booking if stairs or uneven ground are difficult for you. Keep the rest of the return day light.

Do not underestimate the descent

Keep the afternoon before departure quiet and prepare your walking kit early. Confirm pickup and the route with the organiser. Layered clothing, secure footwear and suitable lighting matter more than packing for a normal beach outing. Leave unnecessary items at the hotel.

Make the plan concrete

During the climb, follow the guide’s pace and do not separate from the group for photographs. Confirm whether the monastery is included after the descent and what access is expected. Reserve the following afternoon for rest; the return journey is part of a long night, not the beginning of another full excursion day.
