What They’re Saying About Sinai Hikes

Farouk

Perfect local guide - you’ll have the best time! This by far was one of the best tour guides I’ve ever been with. he’s known by has an excellent grasp of English and is extremely knowledgeable about the area. he told us lots of lovely stories about the mountains’ history, about the cathedral, even giving us a tour of the gorgeous night sky above! The views are stunning from the peak, but with the help of our tour guide we found the best sunrise spot and watched as the sky slowly lit up.

Magnus

I experienced an unforgettable hiking trip with Ahmed, showcasing breathtaking views, traditional cuisine, and comfortable cabins. Ahmed served as a private guide and another Bedouin, catering to any special requests. highly recommends planning a hike in Sinai before Saint Catherine becomes crowded, as Ahmed's availability may be limited.

Luna

Becoming a part of a fantasy world in movies has always been dear to me. It is very special for me to become a part of something bigger in some other reality. I experienced a magical and holy trip with Ahmed as their guide, experiencing a fantasy world in real life. They started at the fox camp and hiked to Moses Mountain, where they enjoyed a bonfire and dinner. Ahmed's presence made the trip unforgettable, making it a memorable experience.

Mohamed Karam

Perfect guide Ahmed Mousa is an excellent guide, we hiked mount Mousa with him for sun rise, he knows how to lead a different fitness level group, how to motivate and he is very knowledgeable… selecting the right guide is the secret for a successful hike. I would definitely repeat it and try different routes with him.

I did a solo 6-day unsupported trek with Ahmad in the high mountain region of St. Katherine. Ahmad was wonderful with hiking, camping, food, water, everything., and was also a good cook. I highly recommend hiking with Sinai hikes, and I hope I will be able to visit again soon.

Ahmed was an amazing guide for our three day hike - he has so much knowledge about the area and plants growing along the route, looks after everyone in the group and is full of enthusiasm! He is also an excellent storyteller and genuinely kind person that really made our hike unforgettable. I cannot recommend going on the hike with Ahmed enough - from the gardens we stayed in, the hidden swimming spots and delicious meals he made it was a 10/10 trip!

Ohad B

Not only that Ahmed took us to the most beautiful places in Sinai, but he also provided us the highest level of service possible. Started from planning the trek, he listened to our expectations and planned the most suitable trail for us. During the the trek itself Ahmed explained about every piece of nature that we’ve seen and about the Beduian culture which was fascinating. He gave us the best memories. I recommend Ahmed as the guide for an unforgettable Sinai experience
