When I first came to Sharm almost 14 years ago to work as a tour guide, this was one of my favourite trips and it still is. It is something about walking up the mountain in the middle of the night to watch a beautiful sunrise that just seems special every time and it feels special whether you are religious... More

A day trip we would recommend is the night walk up Mount Sinai (Moses Mountain). The latter could not be booked at the hotel (they said that they had health and safety issues in the past) but at any local travel office in Naama Bay ahd the other tourist hotspots. We paid £20 for this trip including transfer in a... More

You need to be extremely physically fit for this one. The trip was not explained enough. You walk for hours in extreme temperatures and climb 750 steps each way over rugged rocks and very rugged terrain. You must have the right clothing and footwear for this one and be able to endure the change in altitude!!!

Long drive to get there and not really much to see. Dahab was disappointing, but the restaurant we ate in could not be faulted.

The pace was really fast to make the climb up the mountain so I ended up having to ride a camel so that I could keep up with the rest of the group. I would have preferred to have had more time so that I could have walked. The camel ride left me bruised and cut from the wooden sadle... More
