St. Catherine's Monastery Tours and Tickets

This was the best tour we had in Sharm. A really nice and well spoken guide who took the time to explain the history of St. Catherine and the surrounding areas. Also had a great lunch in Dahab right by the sea. We also had a great and safe driver adding to the mix.

Great communication from start to finish. Good escort and great informative guides for trek and monastery visit.

This was a fantastic trip with our own driver and own guide looking after us throughout. It’s a pretty hard climb and I was very glad I took a camel on the way up. I still had enough work to do to climb the steps to the top and get all the way back down under my own steam, so I didn’t feel I missed out on the hiking and LOVED the camel ride (this cost 850 Egyptian pounds extra plus tip). My husband walked the whole route and kept up with the camel fine, but he’s much fitter than me! Our Bedouin guide Jamal was brilliant - he helped get blankets and a place to rest while we waited for sunrise, took photos of us and gave us lots of information about the Bedouin. He even showed us around St Catherine's monastery when we got to the bottom of Mt Sinai. Jamal offered to show us the nearby Bedouin village but we were so tired after a sleepless night and the climb and still had the 3 hour drive to get back to the hotel so we didn’t do it (although looking back now I wish we had). Overall, it was a magical experience and we were glad to have spent the extra money to be able to have our own driver and guide.
