Difficulty

Moderate

Mostafa Ali Hosted byMostafa Ali
Climb by night with a local Bedouin guide to watch the sunrise from the summit of Mount Sinai, then visit the ancient monastery at its foot. Bring warm clothes: it is cold at the top for most of the year. اطلع بالليل مع دليل بدوي من أهل المكان علشان تشوف الشروق من قمة جبل موسى، وبعدها تزور الدير القديم تحت الجبل. خد هدوم تقيلة: فوق بيبقى برد أغلب السنة. Book it on Ehna Tourism: see real reviews, pay from your wallet and the money is held until the host confirms. احجزها من «سياحة» في إحنا أونلاين: تقييمات حقيقية، وادفع من المحفظة والمبلغ بيفضل محجوز لحد ما المضيف يأكد.
