Потрясающий тур! Подъем на Синай ночью был волнующим, а восход солнца завораживающим. Монастырь Святой Екатерины впечатлил своей историей. Рекомендую каждому!

C'était une expérience inoubliable! Monter le mont Sinaï la nuit pour admirer le lever du soleil était tout simplement magique. La visite du monastère était également très intéressante. À ne pas manquer!

Esta gira fue absolutamente impresionante. La subida al monte Sinaí durante la noche es desafiante pero la recompensa del amanecer es increíble. La visita al monasterio de Santa Catalina es muy enriquecedora. ¡Cinco estrellas!

An amazing adventure! Climbing the mountain in the dark is quite an experience, and the sunrise is something you need to see to believe. The monastery adds a spiritual touch to the journey. Five stars!

The night trek up Mount Sinai was thrilling, and seeing the sunrise from above was spectacular. Visiting St. Catherine's Monastery afterwards was a perfect way to end the tour. Would highly recommend!

Ein unglaubliches Erlebnis! Der Aufstieg auf den Sinai bei Nacht war anstrengend, aber die Aussicht bei Sonnenaufgang war jede Mühe wert. Das Kloster St. Katharina ist voller Geschichte. Absolut empfehlenswert!

Un'esperienza davvero unica. La salita notturna è intensa, ma il panorama dell'alba dal monte è mozzafiato. Anche la visita al monastero di Santa Caterina è stata molto affascinante. Consiglio vivamente!

One of the best tours I've ever been on. Hiking up in the dark felt like a pilgrimage, and witnessing the sunrise was worth every step. St. Catherine's Monastery is a gem. A must-do when in Egypt!
