At the summit of Mount Sinai (Jabal Mousa), you’ll find a few small stone huts run by local Bedouin families. These simple shelters offer hot tea, coffee, snacks, and a place to rest — especially useful after a cold sunrise hike. The huts are usually open during the main hiking seasons (autumn to spring). They provide basic shelter from the wind and cold, and offer a quiet place to sit and enjoy the views. What to know: Bedouin tea or black coffee is available Bring small cash in Egyptian pounds No electricity, but there may be candles or a fire for warmth Temperatures at the summit can drop below freezing, even in spring Buying a drink supports the local families who help care for the mountain. It’s a simple but special experience that many hikers remember long after the climb.

Mount Ahmar, meaning “The Red Mountain” in Arabic, is one of the hidden gems of the Saint Catherine Highlands. It stands out with its deep red granite rock and panoramic views stretching across the high mountains and down into the wide desert valleys. The trail to the summit passes through Wadi Ahmar, a narrow valley of smooth boulders and dry waterfalls. It’s a fun route that includes light scrambling, stone jumping, and walking over polished rock — challenging, but not too technical. From the top, you’ll see far beyond Wadi El-Mathar, across the central Sinai massif. On a clear day, the colors of the rocks shift with the sun — red, orange, grey, and gold. It’s a perfect spot for a long break, photos, or just quiet reflection.

Hi! You could do the Mount Catherine hike with a local guide through Sinai Hikes, and I highly recommend it. It was a truly memorable and well-organized experience — the guide was knowledgeable, and the route was both safe and beautiful. If you're looking for a more meaningful connection to the local culture and nature, this is a great option to consider!

It was also possible to hike that route without having a guide. The trail begins next to the fox camp.

Hi! Please tell me, which company| guide did you go up there with?

Be sure to dress warmly as it gets very cold at night. You can also rent blankets from the shops. The sunrise views are spectacular
