Sunrise on Mount Sinai - Beautiful hike! Challenging at the level of hours as you walk at night... but really deserves it. The only flaw was the amount of people climbing the mountain and so you lose a bit the mystical atmosphere of the place

No words - Prepare your legs and lungs gentlemen because it will be exhausting but it is absolutely worth it believe me, the view from up there is incredible; I just say that going up at night I photographed the milky way...😍

Travel as a couple - It was a wonderful experience. Thanks to our guides who have always been attentive to everything. The walk is not easy for everyone but has the pleasure of climbing Mount Sinai and not trained for the mountain hike there is the opportunity to climb with a camel to the beginning of the staircase. Thank you very much to all the staff

5+ experience, must try for 100% - We have already done excursions with Sun Tours Egypt and they are always punctual, precise and well organized. The climb to Mount Sinai is quite challenging but intense and suggestive. Dawn is a breathtaking sight. All beautiful!

An experience I won’t forget - We did mount sinai today, and what a wonderful experience it was. Be warned, areas of it are tough going up and coming down Is just as hard, but it’s all so worth it! The sunrise is wonderful!

Tour itself is so nice - Basically, the view of Sinai Mountain and the program itself is too good. I don't remember seeing so many stars in my life. However, schedule coordination seems a little weird. There was a hotel somewhere far away, so I contacted them in advance and tried to move separately if the same tour person car pickup time was long, but I replied that there was no problem, but I ended up taking a pickup vehicle in Shellshake for two hours. If this is the case, the pickup person should pick up, or create a checkpoint and give them discretion... The pickup date for the tour started at 9:30 was 07:30 and they only picked up a hotel in the bus for two hours. This is really, really, too annoying. The trip itself was good. The guides also think they are good enough in Egypt.
