Trekking


Trekkers with a real taste for adventure might consider combining the Mount Sinai climb and the Mount Catherine climbs, back to back. Mount Sinai, at 2285 metres, is generally considered to be an easily achievable climb by any active, able bodied individual. The climb will last between 2.5 – 3.5 hours and you have the option of summiting at sunrise or sunset – Sunrise is the more preferred of the two. Mount Catherine is a more challenging climb. The summit sits at 2642metres and will take a whole day to summit and descend again. Although tough going in places the reward of summiting and sitting atop Egypt’s highest mountain is deeply satisfying.

For the land lovers Egypt does not disappoint! Camel Trek operators are dotted all over the Sinai Peninsula and beyond. Treks vary in duration and cater for all levels of tastes and expectations. These types of trips are run throughout the year and to arrange a trek in to the shifting sands of the desert, travel down to Nuweiba or Cairo.
