Wow, what an experience. If you are expecting an easy track up Mt Sinai, this is not for you. The start at St Catherine is amazing, seeing the Monastery in the dark makes you realise the beauty of the environment and this is only the start of the journey. The hike starts around 2am in the morning where you get split into groups and allocated Bedouins who accompany you all the way to the top. The hike is challenging but plenty of stops along the way and the pace is set to suit the whole group. Definitely worthy experience to have.

I went together with my brother. We got picked up at 08:30pm from our hotel. The whole logistics went well- here and there we had to wait for a few minutes for the police escort to arrive - but wasn't a big deal. Our guide Mohammad was very knowledgable, experienced and motivated. He spoke in english and russian. He also showed some authority leadership managing some of the drama between people in the bus- that can always happen in large groups. The hike itself is more of a walk but requires focus towards the end when you have to go up and down the stairs before the summit. Make sure to bring appropriate shoes and warm clothes. If you dont have it the locals will offer you ponchos, hats, gloves, blankets - at quite affordable prices from what I saw, but we were well prepared and did not need it- just make sure your shoes have some grip. Thr sunrise itself was quite the experience - it was a pretty crowded but with a bit of patience everyone should be able to take some nice pictures and get a good view. After going back down we visited the monastry. Tours were offered in English, French, Italian, Russian and maybe some more - again, really well organized. Overall, really nice trip.

It was such an amazing experience. I really thought i wasn't gonna make it to the top at one point. My guide Salem helped me out as the terrain and altitude was tough even if you work out.
