Mount Sinai (Moses Mountain) Excursion from Sharm Reviews

Mount Sinai ( Moses Mountain ) from Sharm Excursion

My husband and I just returned home from Egypt (December, 2008). We booked several excursions with sharmexcursions.com. Our Mt. Sinai experience was unforgettable! Our tour guide spoke English very well. Our Bedouin breakfast was delicious! Just a few words of advice for Mt. Sinai climb: wear warm clothes, bring snacks/water, and don't forget your camera! You'll want to show the sunrise to everyone you know!

I really enjoyed my trip to Mount Sinai with you. Walking in the dark feeling you could almost touch the stars up above was beautiful then as the sun began to rise, all the mountain tops suddenly appeared before us. Every corner you turned on the way down to St. Catherines Monastry opened up another amazing view. Thankyou very much. My only problem was that I wasn't in Sharm long enough to go on another of your excursions. I will be back to go diving and hopefully to go to Cairo.

We were very impressed with the service of Sharm excursions. Having been moved hotels and not knowing how to contact the company we were surprised when mohammed tracked us down and told us all of the details for the long night ahead. Our guide Ramina spoke excellent English amongst other languages, he immediately put us at ease and treated us as a friend rather than a customer. The stop at the Bedouin tent was a welcomed surprise and a real insight into egyptian culture. When we arrived at the mountain we were greated by a bedouin guide who escorted us to the top with great support and humour. The sunrise was breath taking. Once in the monastery, Ramina guided us through all areas with great knowledge and enthusiasm. Many thanks to all involved including 'Crazy Driver'. A life changing experience and excellent value for money.

I booked this excursion purely because it was there to be done and am I glad i did. Physically challenging, but rewarding all the same and the climb to the summit is worth the effort for the sunrise and spectacular views. Our Bedouin guide was excellent, getting us to the summit in good time, and sociable and helpful on the daylight descent to St Catherines. Our guide from Sharm was Hisham, friendly and helpful and able to pitch the tour around the monastery at just the right level for a group on somewhat weary tourists.
