Mt Catherine hike the roof of Egypt

You don’t need to be an expert hiker to join Mt Catherine hike, but you do need to be fit enough to hike for at least 8-9 hours. You need to have some mountains experience, you will walk through a nice mountain path, rocky trails, and boulders, and you will sometimes see breathtaking scenery and dramatic high mountains. We will rise to 1000 metres and descend again in one day.

Saint Catherine’s unique weather is due to its 1570-metre-high mountains and valleys. The best time to enjoy this trip is in spring and autumn, when the daytime temperatures are lower and more pleasant for trekking (usually ranging from 15 to 27 °C). But we run a lot of other hikes during the winter and summer with prepared visitors. Winter nights and mornings can be really cold. Rains at this time of the year are very likely to happen. So it’s a key point to be prepared for cold weather and have waterproof layers because rain is expected, but a good jacket is good for your safety. Accurate data is crucial for understanding the weather conditions as the trip date approaches. We will be able to gather information about the weather conditions that we are going to face. We’ve got to be well prepared for all conditions—the hot weather and the cold weather—with the right clothes and good equipment.
