What is Travellers’ Choice?
Tripadvisor gives a Travellers’ Choice award to accommodations, attractions and restaurants that consistently earn great reviews from travellers and are ranked within the top 10% of properties on Tripadvisor.
Watch sunrise from the top of Mount Sinai on a hiking trip from Sharm el Sheikh to one of Egypt’s highest mountains. You’ll climb the 7,497-foot (2,285-mt.) peak in the predawn darkness, see first light illuminate the mountaintop chapel and mosque, then descend to the 6th-century Monastery of St. Catherine, built where Moses is believed to have seen the Burning Bush. With round-trip transport from Sharm el Sheikh, this is a great way to experience Mount Sinai and St. Catherine even if you have limited time in Egypt. Option to ride a camel most of the way (own expense). See centuries-old Christian art and relics.

          Unreal quad biking experience!
          Truly incredible day out, would highly recommend to anyone! It was really well organised through Tourex/Falcon tours and amazing value for the amount of quad biking you get. You quad to the mountains across Sinai, to a Bedouin pharmacy and short camel ride. Then end on a Bedouin dinner and show under the stars. Food was simple but great. Staff were friendly and helpful. The final part is driving across the desert back to the start point, headlights on which was so cool. Overall, a fantastic trip that was the highlight of our holiday!

          Pros & Cons
          Pros -Affordable -Excellent White Island Ocean Views -Crystal Clear water -Snorkel/Scuba Diving option -Food was OK -Tour allow you to transfer scuba diving time if other members of the party don’t use it. -Style of boat was different to photos but still good. Cons -The wait - took 1 hour to board the boat -Underwater and on boat photos are sold separately at additional cost. $40 for Scuba Photos, $20 for photos taken on the boat. -Scuba Instructor tried to say we went 12 metres, “ I did extra for you…” I’ve dived before we didn’t go below 6 metres. He was looking for a tip no doubt. -Scuba Instructor was blocking my video under the water when the camera was on myself (see photo) -Scuba instructor proceeded to take GoPro off me and take rubbish footage wasting time. Uncertain - but thinking this is a tactic to ensure you buy their photos / videos. -Large amount of people under the water scuba diving and snorkelling at the same time - Very commercial experience. Neutral - Sunny but really cold & windy (not the tours fault) -Sea was freezing so myself and family didn’t want to get in the sea. I only did one Scuba Dive.

          Good but could be better
          The quads where good but could be so much better.. obviously these guys have to book as many as possible to make money.. but I think ther was far to many on my outing made it a bit mad but also more fun .. you go at a slow pace and stop off st a few pictures places where ur greeted by a local children's looking for money . Bit of a money trap including the bbq if u choice that options But overall it something you must do as let's face it sharm does offer much more

          An experience not to forget
          Cairo tour by bus from Sharm El-Sheikh was a fantastic experience. Our way was too smooth and enjoyable and our guide was full of knowledge and details about Egyptian history. We saw the Pyramids, Sphinx, and Egyptian Museum, and had a delicious lunch at the nile. Great memories.

          Unbeatable experience
          The car buggy safari in Sharm El-Sheikh was an unbeatable experience. Our guide took us on time From the hotel to the center. There they took care of us in wearing the scarfes and made sure we know how to ride the buggies and guided us throughout the whole safari trip. We saw amazing desert scenes and enjoyed every moment we spent. Extremely recommended.

          Simply Incredible
          What can I say about this incredible safari trip in Sharm El Sheikh. Everything was well-organized. Pick up was exactly on time, and arriving to the center was quite easily and fast. The buggy was new and comfy to drive. The staff shared with us so many photos and they were so kind and helpful. Totally satisfied.

Great tour, thank you
