Overall rating

4.4
(184 reviews)

Everything was ok, I expect that next time the group will be accompanied by a guide who will provide more explanations about the road to the top of Mount Sinai, also the route did not include the cracked rock through which God gave water to the Jews

It was a challenge we didn't expect. Night. Lights sprouting all around. Fantastic experiences during the "climb", sunrise, hundreds of people gathered on the peak and only the descent at dawn shows what you have done.

The tour plan was ok, but the contents were not as described. There was supposed to be bottled water and snacks, but there was nothing. When buying it was written that it was included in the price👎

Better info on what to bring in terms of food, drinks, clothes and a flashlight. We didn't get snacks and water as promised in the App. It's a VERY tough climb.

Very interesting and also relaxing. But the tour is rather high-priced.
