Trekking in Sinai: St. Catherine Trails

Trekking in Sinai is an unforgettable journey into the heart of Egypt’s wildest and most beautiful landscapes. The Sinai Highlands offer remarkable diversity — from boulder-filled wadis and ancient mountain gardens to timeworn Bedouin trails and sweeping views from Egypt’s highest peaks. Sinai trekking is among the most enriching outdoor experiences in Egypt. It combines long-distance hiking, multi-day wilderness adventures, and high-altitude camping through a region that holds the country’s seven most important mountains. Recognized by UNESCO for its cultural and natural significance, this area is a true gem for explorers and heritage travelers alike. Your trekking in Sinai adventure is also a chance to connect with the Gebaliya Bedouins — the indigenous mountain tribe that has lived here for centuries. Along the way, you’ll share meals cooked over open fires, sleep beneath a canopy of stars, and learn firsthand about traditional herbal medicine, tribal customs, and the deep-rooted wisdom that still guides life in Sinai’s sacred mountains.
