Climb Mount Sinai - Very nice experience, however you should know that you need very good walking shoes. Warm clothes and snacks. It's a difficult mountain to climb...you have to be in good shape. The descent is also difficult... But the effort is rewarded by the beauty of this natural spectacle...

Deluxe Travel is a bad agency. Overnight trip to sainte Catherine monastery from Cairo - Although the site of the monastery of Saint Catherine and the Sinai are exceptionally beautiful, the services provided by Deluxe Travel offer very disappointing value for money. The agency's name is misleading, as this trip falls far short of luxury standards. The price of 240 euros per person for two days is particularly high for Egypt and should guarantee impeccable service, which was not the case. The drivers spoke no English, and a policeman accompanied us for the two days without our being informed in advance. Entrance to St Catherine's Park only costs 5 dollars and food prices in Egypt are still very low, allowing us to eat well for 3 to 4 euros per person. It is therefore legitimate to wonder where the travellers' money is going, giving the impression that the agency is exploiting the tourists. What's more, bottles of mineral water were only provided for the first day, and meals during the 6-8 hour journeys were not included. Given the price we were charged, it would have been justified to include tips for the drivers. Information on the tour programme was also inadequate, and none of the drivers spoke English. The dinner on the first evening, although correct, did not reflect a luxury service commensurate with the price paid, and drinks were not included. In addition, the price of drinks at the hotel was exorbitant for the price we paid. Voyage de 2 jours au monastère de sainte Catherine. Bien que le site du monastère de Sainte-Catherine et le Sinaï soient d'une beauté exceptionnelle, les prestations de l'agence Deluxe Travel présentent un rapport qualité-prix très décevant. Le nom de l'agence est trompeur, car ce voyage est loin de répondre aux standards du luxe. Le tarif de 240 euros par personne pour deux jours est particulièrement élevé pour l'Égypte et devrait garantir un service irréprochable, ce qui n’a pas été le cas. Les chauffeurs ne parlaient pas anglais, et un policier nous a accompagnés durant les deux jours sans que nous en ayons été informés à l'avance. L'entrée au parc de Sainte-Catherine coûte seulement 5 dollars et les prix de la nourriture en Égypte restent très bas, permettant de bien manger pour 3 à 4 euros par personne. Il est donc légitime de se demander où passe l'argent des voyageurs, donnant l'impression que l'agence exploite les touristes. De plus, des bouteilles d'eau minérale ne nous ont été fournies que pour la première journée, et les repas pendant les trajets de 6 à 8 heures n'étaient pas inclus. Étant donné le tarif demandé, l'inclusion des pourboires pour les chauffeurs aurait été justifiée. L'information sur le programme de visite était également insuffisante, et aucun des chauffeurs ne parlait anglais. Le dîner du premier soir, bien que correct, ne reflétait pas un service de luxe en rapport avec le prix payé, et les boissons n’étaient pas incluses. De plus, le prix des boissons à l'hôtel était exorbitant pour le niveau de vie en Égypte, soulignant encore une volonté d'exploiter financièrement les touristes. Enfin, après la randonnée sur le mont Moïse et la visite du monastère, nous étions debout depuis 0h30 et avons rejoint l'hôtel à 9h15. Les chauffeurs ont tenté de nous presser pour repartir au Caire sans nous laisser le temps de prendre un petit-déjeuner ou de nous rafraîchir. Il a fallu insister fermement pour pouvoir repartir à midi. L'agence devrait réduire de moitié son tarif pour cette excursion et a minima augmenter la qualité de sa prestation !
