The excursion is wonderful, who is ready for it! The pilgrimage should not be easy, although the tour is not so difficult, but ...2.800 meters in the dark, practically, there are flashlights, over stones, the road is normal, but stones can be caught. Then, 700 steps to the top. And...You find yourself on the highest mountain of the Sinai Peninsula! This is a bomb! Dawn is something! Well, it’s beautiful, nature, romance and feelings...There is a cell on the mountain where a monk lives, he has a bell, a small one, but imagine: it’s dawn, the whole Sinai is in front of you, the ringing of the bell and by inertia you start to thank for the fact that you see such beauty. Collection from Sharm around 20:30. Climbing starts at 00:30 approximately, return to Sharm by 13:00. There, by the way, if you get tired of walking, there are camels for rent for $10. Every 500 meters there is a place where you can sit and drink tea. Bedouins ply the mountain. In the group in which the ascent begins, no one holds, because someone goes slowly, someone faster.
But no one is late for the ascent)))) And the monastery of St. Catherine is also worth a visit. One of the oldest monasteries in the world! Didn't get repressed at all. I can recommend myself as a guide)
