On the road
Pilgrim groups and hikers bound for the foot of Mount Sinai are the usual passengers on this road. If the driver should wait while you climb for sunrise or visit the monastery, say so when you book.
Sinai roads have police checkpoints. Keep your passport in your hand luggage, not in the boot.
That is a whole day in the car. Ask the company to plan rest stops, or a night on the way, if you want one.
The same car does the trip in reverse too, so this page also covers Saint Catherine to Cairo.
Drop-off points
Saint Catherine's Monastery, Mount Sinai and Saint Catherine town.
