TOUR’S PROGRAM:

You will be picked up from your hotel in Sharm El Sheikh city between 8:00 PM and 9:00 PM. Then you will travel in an air-conditioned vehicle for around 4 hours to reach the Moses Mountain. When you arrive at Mount Sinai you will start your trekking tour to the sacred place where the Prophet Moses received the 10 commandments. Reach 2,285 meters by climbing up 750 steps, strolling through the night (approx 2-3 hours depending on the customers).

Depending on the performance of the group, you may arrive at the summit earlier than expected. This will give you a chance to really relax and marvel at the rising sun slowly scattering across the mountains in all its splendor. While gazing at the sunrise, snap awesome photos or pray if you wish to, then begin the descent back down. Remember, it will take around 2 hours to reach the bottom. Enjoy some time to rest after the long trail and then have breakfast.

Next, visit the UNESCO World Heritage Site of St. Catherine’s Monastery. Browse through the old manuscripts displayed in the library and icons excavated from the Vatican. It is the oldest functioning Christian monastery in the world situated on the Sinai Peninsula along with Monastery of Saint Anthony which is located across the Red Sea in the desert of South Cairo. It was dedicated to one of Alexander’s rulers, Saint Catherine who was tortured to death for the sake of her new faith.

After you’ve finished touring the monastery, you can relax on the drive back to your hotel in Sharm El Sheikh.

Kahire Turu (Türkçe Rehberli)

October 24, 2025

Giza Piramitleri’ni görmek hayalimdi! Nile Voyage ile yapılan Kahire turu harikaydı. Türkçe rehberimiz tarih hakkında o kadar bilgiliydi ki, her anını keyifle dinledik. Organizasyon mükemmeldi, yemekler de çok lezzetliydi.

Amazing tour

October 20, 2025

I would like to sincerely thank Nile Voyage for an unforgettable experience on Mount Sinai. The tour was truly special, guided by Ibrahim and our wonderful Bedouin guide, who not only looked after us throughout the journey but also enchanted us with fascinating stories along the way.

The trail itself is quite manageable up to the point of the 750 steps/rocks, where the real challenge begins. However, even there, the Bedouin guides are always ready to lend a helping hand, which makes the climb possible for everyone( exception for kids based on my opinion).

Reaching the summit was absolutely worth it – not only for the breathtaking view but also for a once-in-a-lifetime moment: I even witnessed a rocket being launched and intercepted in the sky, a truly unique sight I will never forget.

This experience was amazing, and I am certain I will repeat it again – after a few running sessions to improve my stamina!

Thank you once again, and I wholeheartedly recommend Nile Voyage for anyone looking for a memorable adventure.

Super experienta

October 20, 2025

Am facut trei excursii prin intermediul celor de la Nile Voyage. Sunt super promti, mi-au raspuns imediat, mi-au dat toate detaliile de care aveam nevoie si au rezervat excursia chiar de pe o zi pe alta.

Am facut excursia (Super Cairo) la piramide, muzeu si sfinx cu ghid in limba romana. Ghidul nostru a fost Samir si il recomand cu incredere. A avut mereu grija de noi, ne-a explicat foarte bine tot ce era de explicat, a fost glumet, vesel si prietenos.

La Luxor si Valea regiilor l-am avut ca ghid pe Mimo. Deasemenea il recomand cu mare drag. Un om extraordinar care stie sa isi faca meseria exemplar. Este foarte atent la nevoile celor din grup, explica foarte bine si amanuntit, este mereu vesel si poti discuta orice cu el.

A treia excursie a fost la safary de dimineata.

Si aici lucrurile au decurs super bine si a fost super fun si antrenant. Ma asteptam ca mersul cu atv-ul sa nu fie chiar asa cum este descris pe site (ca si durata si distanta) dar m-am inselat. Iar ghidul Fouidi si soferul jeep-ului au fost super de treaba. Soferul ne-a spus ca putem pune muzica in masina de la telefonul nostru, la satul de beduini am avut parte de o super experienta (plimbatul pe camila, ceai, am vazut cum se face lipia in modul lor traditional).

Totul a fost peste asteptari in toate cele trei excursii. Iar pretul a fost deasemenea excelent fata de ce ne-a fost oferit de catre agentia cu care am facut sejurul.

Felicitari echipei de la Nile Voyage si puteti sa ii alegeti cu mare incredere.

Препоръчваме с две ръце

October 20, 2025

В Хургада сме били два пъти и ползваме само тази агенция! Ходили сме с тях на Paradise Island, Orange Bay, El Guna, сафаритата в пустинята… Винаги са точни и коректни. Препоръчвали сме ги на познати, заминаващи за Египет и те също са били доволни. Продължавайте все така!
