Mt. Sinai adventure

David_S, Sep 2023

We booked our trip to Mt. Sinai, which included a private car service from Giza to St. Catherine's which is a small town at the base of Mt Sinai. The area has numerous shops (that were closed) and a hotel for you to spend a few hours before embarking on the hike. Dinner was included, however there was no menu. Be prepared to tell the hotel what you want to eat and they will tell you if they can provide it. The food is not great. I had chicken, rice and vegetables. The dining area was dirty, numerous flies. The hotel at St. Catherine was probably the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. Dirty, smelly, not clean. We were only there for a few hours, we starting the trip to meet our guide at midnight. Our guide, Muhammed was great. Made sure we took breaks when needed and offered to take photos for us and carried blankets when we neared the summit. Overall the hike was great and worth it. Best advice is to bring layers as it is colder at the summit. Also goes without saying bring good quality shoes, and any snacks if needed. The hike is a solid workout. Our driver was also great. Made out stops to make sure we could stretch (the ride is about 5 hours each way) If you can get past the dinner and hotel, the trip is definitely worth it.
