Embark on a multi-day hiking adventure through the majestic Sinai Mountains, starting in Saint Catherine City. Once home to the Jebaliya tribe, these valleys and peaks hold a unique blend of natural beauty, cultural heritage, and spiritual history.

Follow the Nomad Peaks of Sinai, where trails lead you across iconic sites like Mount Na’ga, Saqar Canyon, El-Galt El-Azraq, Wadi Gebal, Mount Bab El-Donya, and Mount Abbas Basha. Along the way, you’ll discover hidden gems, ancient stories, and breathtaking landscapes.

This journey is not only about the mountains—it’s about immersing yourself in the Bedouin way of life. Cook over an open fire, sleep under the stars, and learn about age-old traditions, from herbal medicine to local customs passed down through generations.

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 6–7 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.

3 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.
