When to visit

Mt. Sinai is a must-see for culture lovers and history buffs.
The hike to the summit can be strenuous; wear sturdy sneakers or hiking boots.
Dress in layers if you plan to visit during sunrise or sunset, as it can be cold at the top of the mountain. It’s also possible to rent blankets at the summit.
Multiple huts sell refreshments along the mountain path, so it’s a good idea to bring some spending money.
People Also Ask
How long is the hike to the top of Mt Sinai?
There are two separate routes to the top of Mt. Sinai. The Steps of Repentance include 3,000 rock-cut steps, and the Camel Trail offers a more gently sloping path. Both trails meet for the 750-step climb to the summit. Most travelers choose the Camel Trail, which takes about two hours.
Are there tours to Mount Sinai?
Yes. There are tours to Mt. Sinai from Dahab, Sharm el Sheikh, Hurghada, Cairo, and even Eilat in Israel: Dahab and Sharm el Sheikh are the best bases. Tours normally leave in the evening and drive overnight so you can climb the mountain for sunrise then visit St. Catherine’s Monastery.
How hard is it to hike Mount Sinai?
The Steps of Repentance are physically challenging, but the Camel Trail is relatively easy. Plenty of families have done it. Assuming you’re reasonably fit, the hardest element of the sunrise hike is the lack of sleep and, particularly in winter, the temperatures at the top. Camels are available if required.
What should I wear to Mount Sinai?
More clothing than you'd think. Mt. Sinai is 7,497 feet (2,285 meters) high, and nighttime winter temperatures drop below freezing. If climbing for sunrise, pack gloves, a hat, jacket, and thick socks in winter, and a layer and socks in summer. Modest dress is essential for the monastery.
What is the best day to visit Mount Sinai?
Whether you’re doing a sunrise or sunset hike, Tuesday is a great day to visit Mt. Sinai. Most travelers also tour St. Catherine’s Monastery, which shares the mountain’s UNESCO World Heritage listing. This opens in the mornings but is closed to visitors on Friday and Sunday and busiest on Saturday.
Is Mount Sinai worth it?
Yes, Mt. Sinai is absolutely worth it. It’s a sacred place to followers of all three Abrahamic religions—Judaism, Christianity, and Islam—many of whom believe Moses received the Ten Commandments here. But it’s also a beautiful and atmospheric slice of desert wilderness and not too taxing of a climb.
