A must do when you visit Egypt - This was the highlight of my trip to Egypt. The climb was made comfortable by the experienced guides and you are looked after every step of the way. The changeling part for some people will be the 750 steps to the summit but you will be welcomed with some spectacular views.

Incredible experience - The experience on Mount Sinai was simply amazing and unforgettable. I would like to praise the guide responsible for the transfer, who was very professional, punctual and attentive throughout the whole journey, passing safety and organization to the group. A special super compliment to the Bedouin guide who led us to the top of the mountain. He was exceptional: careful, patient and very experienced, always showing attention and goodwill throughout the climb. The rise was challenging, but extremely rewarding. Seeing the sunrise on Mount Sinai is a unique, exciting experience that is worth every effort. Important note: Make sure all documentation is correct and check the possibility of entrance fees in advance. I highly recommend this tour for those looking for a spiritual, cultural and unforgettable experience.

Highly recommended - It was great experience once in a lifetime. We had great sky clear etc great guide who looked after us. You climb mountain (walk) in the middle of the night, would never do that by myself or anywhere else. Just remember it is cold so get some warm clothes( hat, gloves, scarf) some people selling additional ponchos on the bottom of the mountain. When I was there it was 5$ but we know how is it all can change within days. Make sure you have some spare change as they ask for a money for toilets etc (if no sweets). You can rent blanket for 4$ (at a time) on the top but I would recommend just wear warm clothing. And please take some additional lighting as I did not have any, but some people were smarter on the tour. Claiming mountain can take up to 4hrs so bear in mind tour can extend a bit. Would highly recommended

Magical experience - An extremely tiring but magical morning hiking up this mountain, the moment when you finally reach the summit and see the sun rise is exhilarating! I feel like our group were looked after at all times, we were never pressured to pay more than we already had (even though this was astonishingly good value for money for what you got) and even on a few occasions when I lost the rest of the group due to how busy it was at the top, our guides found me each time and reunited us which was a huge relief. Credit especially to our main guide Mohammed for his extremely energetic and inspiring introduction to the tour, reminding us of the stories of Moses and St Catherine and making us all highly hyped for the long morning ahead. I tipped 200 EGP to our Bedouin guide, Mohammed and the driver - only about £3 GBP each but I felt all deserved it equally. A great day and I’ll be looking at their other tours next time I’m in Egypt!

Spiritual and physical experience - I went on the Mount Sinai excursion. It was an amazing experience. Not for the faint hearted and you definitely need stamina and not fear of heights. It's extremely cold so take warm clothes, good footwear and a hot flask and snacks. The tour guide was good. An experience I will never forget.And transfers were on time. I would definitely recommend infinity Excursions. 22yr old male
