My husband and I had a wonderful trip from Cairo to Saint Catherine’s. Ayoub was our amazing guide, and Esam was so helpful as our driver. They truly were a great team. We appreciated the organization, and constant care we had on the trip. Climbing Mount Sinai was truly a special experience and we so appreciated our driver and guide making it so memorable for us. We highly recommend this trip!

Friendly tour guide and driver made me feel far more comfortable on my first solo trip. Everything went smoothly and everything was covered. Amir was my tour guide and was knowledgeable and very nice. If you visit during winter a jacket may be appropriate.

Ayoub was very personable. Made us feel like we were traveling with friends and not hired help. Ahmed the driver was very chill as well. This was a trip of a lifetimes. So much history and actually getting to see the places that are in the Bible, words can not express. I would say everyone must do this trip before they die.

Last minute of decision not to climb the Holy Mountain by my husband, lack of sleep
for one thing and temperatures up in summit being cold.
Our guide Mohamed Gamal’s assurance made him to go.
Checking temps up in summit 46 degree Fahrenheit, that helped him to get going.
What a personal touches of Mohamed’s was exceptional. When we need rest, he waits
asked us how we are doing ect.
What a experience, we climbed during the night in order to see the sun rise, while climbing, we saw the prettiest sky and stars so bright and many.
On a Camel ride for two hours was great help and 750 steps we managed resting in between. We’re 81 and 74 years old, but we did it. It is doable and be confident.
The awesome rewards was awaiting when we saw THE GREAT SUNRISE.
The great view after sunrise, so we stayed for a while and view the rugged mountain surround and descending the Mt.
Now thinking, Holy Spirit guide us all along and our physical guide Mohamed,
Camel guide, Bedouin and our vehicle driver, we were in it all together and
WE DID IT. I highly recommend Mohamed’s guidances.
Told him later that even Eagle needs little push....

Highly recommend the services of Ahmed ElSayed- his level of professionalism is to be commended. Ahmed went above and beyond his duties- most notably when the airline lost our luggage at the beginning of our holiday.
We visited St Catherine and did the hike up Mount Sinai- what a truly awesome and challenging experience it was! Ahmed took great care of us from start to finish and gave us the trip of a lifetime.
The level of service we received from Ahmed was outstanding. He truly made us feel at home in Egypt.
If you are looking to explore this beauty and ancient land, please do ask for Ahmed ElSayed- he will arrange an amazing trip from start to finish!

The tour was really good, and Ali Baba was a terrific guide. The hike up Mt Sinai for sunrise was well worth the effort - the views were incredible - and the monastery afterwards was also very interesting. Would definitely recommend for an off-the-beaten-path experience

Amazing trip up Mt. Sinai with Let's Explore Egypt! We loved our tour guide and our Bedouin guide who led us up the mountain. Reasonably priced and the food is delicious!
Our guide (Mohammed Mahmoud) took very good care of us and made sure all the details were covered. He spoke very good English and was very hospitable. I highly recommend this trip.
One note, be prepared for a strenuous hike. My wife and I are in good shape, but it was still very challenging.

Hussein Elgbry was a wonderful tour guide and Ahmed Alm Aldin was a courteous driver. This tour was an incredible experience and one I highly recommend. Although a challenging hike, it is certainly worth the climb-should you choose to ascend to the summit. The views of sunrise were breathtaking and there were plenty of breaks built in. Thanks for a great experience!

I would like to know how far Van Drive us, if we ride camels,
We ride camels from Van drop off point? and where the camel ride ends? I heard there’s 750 steps to climb. All this information will give us on the bus trip to Mt. Sinai?
