So then it's better to immediately go to rest in Sharm, especially since Sharm is much better than Hurghada.
From Hurghada to Sharm (Sinai) is very far, expensive, tiring.

Thanks for the answer!
I'm traveling "on a trailer" with the young, so we chose Hurghada, well. and maybe we’ll get to Sharm (the youth has already traveled all over). I have never been to Egypt, now I decided to “commemorate” my Anniversary in Egypt. The employees suggested about Sinai, so I’m interested. By the way, I see you are connected with the Carpathians I love the Carpathians, I lived in the Chernivtsi region, Transcarpathia, the Carpathians once traveled around. It’s a pity that it doesn’t work out right now. Ridden edge!!!!!

In general, it is better to immediately go to Taba (rare airlines fly there right away, mainly to Sharm). If you are a physically unprepared person, I do not recommend an excursion to Mount Moses, it is very tiring, dark and uncomfortable ... But Petra is a beauty!

PolikSVT, thank you, this is very important to me. I'm athletic. but age takes its toll anyway. and discomfort on vacation, of course, is not needed. I’ll look for where it is Petra ... I need beauty !!!!

Ptra is translated as "pink city". Buildings made of pinkish stone and in the sunlight look fabulous! You can take a two-day tour - Jerusalem - Petra, it will not be so tiring. When we rested in Taba, we met some elderly couples from Hungary and Poland. They ordered a 3-day excursion, and in general many foreigners do just that (for 2-3 days). And in Taba hotels they take breakfast and dinner (which is cheaper), because. the hotel for them is a launching pad to the "promised land".

I visited Jerusalem from Turkey, I took a one-day trip by plane. Well. about foreigners, this is another song altogether: they live calmly, serenely. enjoy their life and old age. In this regard, I remember the elderly when visiting Finland. And with our pensioners everything is running, everything is galloping, in one day you have to travel around the whole world and see everything. Well, to each his own ...

Yes, back in September, I soooo wanted to visit Mount Tahtalli in Turkey, I “rummaged through” everything on the Internet, I decided everything! Then I read somewhere that an elderly woman felt rather bad when she climbed, well, I got scared. But it doesn’t get out of my head. companies just to not be so scary.

Dear wayway, you will not have any difficulties climbing Mount Moses. The ascent is long, but not very steep, only the last steps are very steep and difficult to climb. They begin to rise from the monastery of St. Catherine (Santa Catarina) at 2 am, and by 5-5.30 o'clock, by dawn they are going to the very top. Both young and old rise, for those who find it hard, the Bedouins offer a camel for $ 20, almost to the very top, to those very last steep steps. On the way, tents with tea, coffee, hibiscus are organized at different heights.

October is the perfect time for such a trip. It's not so hot in Sinai anymore, and on Mount Moses it's not so cold yet. It's a little chilly at dawn in the morning, the Bedouins upstairs give you blankets to wrap yourself in for a small fee. Going down the mountain is much faster and more enjoyable. In the monastery you can eat and visit the museum, very informative, with amazingly beautiful icons of the 4th, 5th centuries.

And one more thing! Do you need to take a visa if you don’t go to Sinai right now? Or everyone takes a visa, go in a crowd and take it, as it was in Turkey before.

Arriving on vacation in Hurghada - a visa is MANDATORY paid.
And if you fly to Sharm on vacation, you can not take a visa, but put a free Sinai stamp on your stay in Sinai, and without leaving Cairo, no more than 15 days.

Understand, dear wayway, for an excursion to Mount Moses, you need the appropriate mood and attitude ... If you are relaxing with a group of friends in Hurghada? Wouldn't it be easier next time to take this tour from Sharm? A little tiring...

surgeon72, yes. Yes, I understood. this is exactly how I thought that it would be necessary to carry out this ascent from Sharm. And the youth, they take me to the monasteries. because they are more mobile now. than us old people.

From Hurghada it is more convenient to go to the monasteries of St. Paul and Anthony. It is closer than Cairo, it takes about 3-4 hours
