Itinerary & Details

Ready for the most epic adventure in Sinai? This is not a trip for lazy tourists, it's a challenge for the soul and body. We depart at night to climb the Mountain of Moses. You will walk under a carpet of stars, feel the desert cold and the adrenaline of the ascent. But when you reach the top and see the sun rise between the mountains, you'll understand every step was worth it. It's a moment that changes you inside. After sunrise, we descend to visit the sacred Monastery of St. Catherine and the Burning Bush. 🚑 FABIO'S GOLDEN TIP (VIP UPGRADE): Be honest with yourself: after 7 km of walking and a sleepless night, you will be destroyed. In the group bus, you'll have to wait for others sitting uncomfortably. Get smart: Choose the VIP Option (Private Car). Why? Because your private car becomes your 'Mobile Bed'. As soon as you descend the mountain, get in the car, recline the seat, and sleep like a king until Dahab, where I'll take you to a chic seaside restaurant for a regenerating lunch. It's the difference between returning to the hotel 'dead' or returning 'happy'. Your back will thank you!

FAQ & Insider Tips

Absolutely not. Trust is everything. We usually ask for a small deposit to secure spots (especially for VIP boats), and the balance is paid comfortably upon arrival in Sharm, in cash or local currency. No risk, zero stress.

Forget the anxiety! The night before every excursion, you will receive a personal WhatsApp message from Fabio with the exact time, meeting point, and transfer details. Swiss organization, Egyptian heart.

We are humans, not robots! If something comes up, message us on WhatsApp immediately. We'll do our best to reschedule without extra costs. ⚠️ Exception: For flights (Cairo/Luxor), we depend on airline rules, so flight tickets are non-refundable.

Crucial detail: If you stay in Sharm (e.g., Safari), the free 'Only Sinai' stamp is enough. But if you choose Ras Mohammed (by land) or go to Cairo/Luxor, you MUST buy the Egypt Visa ($25) upon arrival. Ask us if unsure!

Keyword: Comfort. Desert: closed shoes, sunglasses, scarf. Sea: swimwear, sunscreen. Insider Tip: Always bring a light hoodie, even in summer, for the strong A/C in buses or the desert breeze at night.

Insider Tip: Bring Euros/Dollars for hotels and tours (accepted everywhere). Exchange a small amount into Egyptian Pounds for small expenses: taxis, tips, and markets. Paying small things in local currency saves you money!

Hotel Wi-Fi is often slow. Golden advice: Buy a Data SIM (Vodafone or Etisalat) directly at the airport upon arrival. It's cheap and gives you fast internet everywhere.

Drink ONLY sealed bottled water (even for brushing teeth). For food, during our excursions, we select only certified restaurants with high hygiene standards.
