A guided hike through the Sinai Highlands is one of the most rewarding adventures in Egypt. The landscape is a dramatic blend of towering granite peaks, deep sandstone valleys, and hidden oases, offering a rare look into Egypt’s untouched wilderness.

This trek is not only about nature — it’s a journey through Bedouin culture and history, where travelers walk ancient trails, cook over open fires, and sleep beneath a million-star sky. From Mount Catherine, Egypt’s highest summit, to the sacred Mount Sinai (Jabal Mousa), every step connects you to centuries of desert tradition and breathtaking beauty.

Whether you’re seeking adventure, reflection, or connection, hiking Sinai is a spiritual and physical challenge that leaves lasting memories.

We create authentic hiking and trekking experiences in the mountains and deserts of Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula. Based in Saint Catherine, we specialize in both iconic treks—like Mount Sinai sunrise hikes and Mount Catherine ascents—and multi-day expeditions that take travelers deep into the wilderness with our Bedouin guides. For us, hiking is more than just walking trails—it’s about connecting with nature, culture, and people. That’s why every journey combines breathtaking landscapes with Bedouin hospitality, storytelling, and traditional desert life. Our mission is to make Sinai’s unique beauty accessible to hikers who want something deeper than a standard tour—a journey that transforms, inspires, and stays with you for life.

Tour provider's comments

You don’t need to be an expert hiker to join the trekking in Sinai, but you do need to be fit enough to hike for at least 5-6 hours every day in Sinai weather. You will walk through the amazing boulder-strewn wadis, dramatic switchbacks sometimes and through rocky trails or green valleys. However, each day will just keep you motivated for the next with the great company and breathtaking scenery.

Accommodation

Comfort
Basic
Tent
7 nights

The Bedouins usually sleep under the stars. They call it the million-star hotel.
But sometimes there will be camping nights in the gardens equipped with Rocky rooms by the Bedouins; some of them contain mattresses and blankets, and sometimes we will camp our way through the pristine Sinai Trail. You will learn basic camping skills and how to set up a tent. 

7 nights
Tent

Everyone should have a tent and a sleeping bag suitable for all seasons to ensure that there is enough space to make you all feel comfortable.

A 3- or 4-season sleeping bag (depending on the time of year) will be enough to make your experience safe and comfortable.
