Swap sun loungers for one of the Sinai Peninsula’s most soul-stirring journeys on this full-day escape from Sharm El Sheikh. Setting out beneath a canopy of stars, you will climb Mount Sinai in the cool desert night, timing your ascent to reach the summit as the first light gilds the craggy ridgelines where, according to tradition, Moses received the Ten Commandments. Once you have made your way back down, cross the threshold of St Catherine’s Monastery, among the oldest continuously inhabited monastic communities on earth, and take in its centuries-old chapel, extraordinary collection of icons, and the fabled Burning Bush. With smooth transfers and an experienced guide taking care of every detail, this is Egyptian history at its most profound. Secure your Sinai pilgrimage with Daily Pyramids Tours today.
Step away from the coast for a day steeped in wonder, faith, and mountain silence. This journey pairs a memorable trek up Mount Sinai, timed for the golden hush of sunrise or sunset above the summit, with a visit to the venerable St. Catherine’s Monastery, one of the world’s earliest Christian sanctuaries still in daily use. Together they weave a rare tapestry of scripture, art, and desert grandeur.
Embark on a spiritual and adventurous journey to Mount Sinai, where tradition holds that Moses received the Ten Commandments. Your trip begins with an evening pick-up from your hotel between 7:30 PM and 8:00 PM, followed by a scenic drive of approximately 150 miles to the renowned St. Catherine’s Monastery, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Upon arrival, prepare for the climb up Moses Mountain, guided by a professional Bedouin. As you ascend under the starlit sky, you’ll experience the peace and serenity of the desert while enjoying breathtaking panoramic views. Reach the summit in time to witness an unforgettable sunrise over the rugged Sinai landscape, a truly awe-inspiring and spiritual experience.
After descending, explore the historic St. Catherine’s Monastery, where a knowledgeable Egyptologist will guide you through the site’s rich religious and cultural history. After your visit, return to your hotel, feeling refreshed and spiritually enriched by this meaningful adventure.

Every rate published by Daily Pyramids Tours is expressed in US Dollars (USD) unless another currency is indicated. That said, we are happy to settle invoices in other leading currencies, including Euros (EUR), British Pounds (GBP), and several more, all converted at the official exchange rate on the day payment is made.
Because our pricing tracks live market movements, seasonal shifts, and evolving supplier availability, quoted figures may change until they are secured. The moment your deposit or full payment reaches us, however, your rate is locked and protected from any subsequent increases.
What Our Packages Typically Cover:
Always review your final booking confirmation and personalised itinerary for the precise list of inclusions and exclusions attached to your trip.
Holiday Supplement:
A 25% surcharge applies to all Nile Cruises and tour packages booked during Christmas, New Year, and Easter holidays due to peak demand.
To keep your reservation with Daily Pyramids Tours running smoothly, our payment structure is tailored to the kind of experience you have chosen:
Once your payment has cleared, we will send written confirmation, a bespoke itinerary, and any relevant travel documents straight to your inbox, together with formal receipts for every transaction.
Life sometimes reroutes even the best-laid plans, so here is how our cancellation policy is structured:
Where a refund is due, it will be issued within 14 business days of us receiving your cancellation in writing. Please note that certain Nile cruise vessels and hotels enforce tighter cancellation windows of their own, and any such conditions will be flagged clearly within your itinerary.
Families are warmly welcomed on every Daily Pyramids Tours itinerary, and our children’s rates are structured as follows:
These reductions apply when children share a room with two adults paying the full rate. Do keep in mind that a handful of Nile cruise ships and premium hotels apply their own age or occupancy rules, and any such variations will be spelled out in your final itinerary where they apply.
A number of standout experiences sit outside the standard package and can be arranged either in advance or on the ground, subject to availability. Popular add-ons include:
Optional experiences can be settled in either US Dollars or Egyptian Pounds (EGP). We strongly suggest booking them ahead of time, particularly across the busy winter and holiday seasons.
Our packages cover the essentials generously, but there are a few extras worth budgeting for during your stay:
It is a good idea to keep a modest amount of Egyptian Pounds (EGP) to hand for everyday moments, whether that is a gratuity, a bottle of water, or a keepsake from a bustling bazaar.
In Egypt, tipping, known locally as “baksheesh”, is a warm gesture of thanks for good service. It is entirely discretionary, yet very much part of the culture:
Gratuities are not included in your package price, so it pays to keep a stash of small-denomination USD or EGP notes handy throughout your journey.
The sweet spot for visiting Egypt falls between November and February, when winter delivers pleasantly cool, blue-sky days that are perfect for exploring the pyramids, temples, and desert landscapes at a leisurely pace. Try to steer clear of the height of summer from June to August, when mercury readings routinely climb above 40°C (104°F) across much of the country and outdoor sightseeing can become genuinely uncomfortable.
Before you fly, make sure you have the following essentials sorted:
Passport: Valid for at least six months from the date of entry.
Visa: Depending on your nationality, you may need to obtain a visa in advance or upon arrival. Some nationalities are eligible for e-visas.
Travel Insurance: Recommended to cover medical emergencies and other unforeseen circumstances.
Vaccinations: While no specific vaccinations are required for entry, it is wise to check with your healthcare provider for any recommended jabs before you go.
Egypt is broadly regarded as a safe destination for international travellers, with substantial resources channelled into visitor security around headline sites and major urban centres. As with any trip abroad, it is sensible to consult your own government’s most recent travel advice and keep an eye on local news updates while you are on the ground.
Decide Your Travel Dates and Budget
Pin down when you would like to travel and roughly what you are prepared to spend. That framework instantly narrows the field on flights, hotels, and guided experiences.
Choose Your Itinerary and Destinations
Egypt offers many popular spots such as Cairo, the Pyramids of Giza, Luxor, Aswan, the Nile Cruise, Alexandria, and the Red Sea resorts. Decide which places you want to visit and for how long.
Find a Reliable Tour Operator or Travel Agency
You can go through a local Egyptian specialist, an international agency, or a reputable online platform focused on Egypt. Read reviews, cross-check testimonials, and confirm they hold the appropriate licensing.
Select a Tour Package or Customize Your Trip
Many operators offer ready-made packages that bundle flights, hotels, transport, and guided excursions. Alternatively, you can craft a bespoke itinerary shaped around your passions and pace.
Make a Reservation
Once you have chosen your package or route, get in touch with the operator to confirm availability. Share your traveller details and settle either the deposit or the full balance in line with their booking terms.
Prepare Your Travel Documents
Double-check that your passport meets validity requirements and secure an Egyptian visa if your nationality calls for one. Confirm every booking and print physical copies of your itinerary, hotel vouchers, and tour confirmations.
Pack and Get Ready
Tailor your suitcase to the season and the activities on your plan, and be sure not to overlook the basics: broken-in walking shoes, high-factor sunscreen, and the right travel adaptors.
Enjoy Your Trip!
When you land, follow the flow of your itinerary, keep your guide or operator in the loop, and give yourself over to Egypt’s astonishing depth of history and culture.
Tipping, or “baksheesh”, is woven into daily life across Egypt and is not usually built into your tour price. It is customary to thank guides, drivers, and hotel teams with a small gratuity, calibrated to the quality of service you receive. As a general benchmark, around 10-15% of the bill or service cost is a fair mark of appreciation.
