The Mountain Summit Adventure

Conquer 5 of Sinai's most distinctive mountains and picture a bird's eye view from the top of Egypt.

The Mountain Summit Adventure takes you from peak to peak through Sinai's rugged landscape. You will capture your first elevated view from Gebel Banat. This will lead to the triumph of two peaks in one day; Sagg Tinya with the water pool of Kharazet el Shaq and Gebel Naja which you will reach through a series of basins. From the next peak, Bab el Dunya, meaning 'the door of the universe', you will tower above the Sinai and gain incredible views of the Gulf of Suez and the African continent beyond. The trek culminates with a climb of 1100 m at Mt St Catherine's, the ultimate peak and Egypt's highest mountain. Over 5 days you will trek 86.13 km and ascend 4023 m.

The Mountain Summit Adventure takes you off the beaten track and shows you hidden gems in the Sinai. With native Bedouins as your guides you have the unique opportunity to experience life the way Bedouins have for generations and generations. Take in their history and learn about Sinai's flora and fauna.

The Mountain Summit Adventure has been designed with experienced trekkers in mind and involves challenging ascents and walking days upwards of eight hours.

After a challenging mountain adventure you'll be rewarded with a day to relax in Dahab. Enjoy the comforts of a hotel with a refreshing pool and crisp white linen.

Year Around price: 420GBP
