What They’re Saying About Sinai Hikes

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.

Beatrice E

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!

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.

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

⁠Nadine Alaaeldin

It was just perfect, and I was lucky to have our guides, Ahmed Mousa and Amo Nasser, They were the best to make the trip enjoyable and exciting with their knowledge and their interesting Bedouin stories about their culture, I've learned a lot actually, and beside the food was something else, haven't tasted something like this before. It is so delicious and unforgettable. such a sweet thing they made me learn how to make their traditional bread Frasheh. Three days of living beautiful warm things around the mountains and I am for sure coming for more.

Hana Namry

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.
