Watching sunrise or sunset from the legendary summit of Sinai
Mount Moses, also known as Mount Sinai or Jebel Musa, is one of the most famous and revered places on the Sinai Peninsula.
It is here, according to biblical tradition, that the prophet Moses received the Tablets of the Covenant with the Ten Commandments.
Most travelers climb to the summit at night to catch the famous sunrise over the Sinai mountains.
With a private excursion, however, you can choose not only a sunrise climb but also a sunset one.
The evening hours offer a special atmosphere of stillness - the soft light of the setting sun and breathtaking panoramas of the mountain ranges.
Climbing Mount Moses with a private guide lets you choose your own time for the ascent and enjoy the journey without being tied to a large group’s schedule.
Unique features of Mount Moses
- The summit offers one of the most breathtaking views in Egypt
- Mount Moses is considered sacred by Christians, Muslims, and Jews.
It’s a place where history, religion, and culture have intertwined for thousands of years.
Two historic paths lead to the summit:
- The Camel Path - a gentler, more comfortable route
- The Steps of Repentance - an ancient stone staircase of a thousand steps, built by monks many centuries ago
At the foot of the mountain lies the famous Monastery of Saint Catherine.
It is one of the oldest continuously operating monasteries in the world and a major landmark of Christian culture.
We visit the monastery on the way down after sunrise if we climb at dawn, or before the ascent if we choose a sunset climb.
Choose the private format to watch the sunrise or sunset in comfort, enjoy the beauty of the Sinai mountains, and discover one of the most amazing places in Egypt.
