The monastery was open but not the churches due to covid. We were allowed to enter to see the biblical burning bush. The well were moses met his wife. It was such a beautiful spot. The hike up the mountain took 2 hours. It is not an easy hike and luckily there were a few Bedouin huts open for snacks and drink. The hike is tough as you get close to the top. It is well worth the trip

The journey begins with a large comfortable boat, ADHAM. The captain and team explain everything in detail, give a briefing and we can enjoy the journey, the views and the sunshine all the way to the island ...It's amaizing on the White Island. That white sand and azure water work well together. I also want to compliment the ship chef as the food was delicious. Diving instructors showed us the most beautiful coral reef in Sharm, telling us about the fish we have seen. And the photographer captured wonderful moments both on the White Island and underwater. The tour was amazing. Thank you very much

St. Catherine city has a high spiritual significance as a result of its location near Moses Mountain. Enjoy the Beautiful landscape all the way from Sharm El Sheikh and visit the oldest monastery in the world! St. Catherine's Monastery lies on the Sinai Peninsula, at the mouth of a gorge at the foot of Mount Sinai in St. Catherine's City. The monastery is Orthodox and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This monastery is one of the oldest working Christian monasteries in the world. The monastery was built by order of Emperor Justinian I, enclosing the Chapel of the Burning Bush ordered to be built by St. Helen, the mother of Constantine I, at the site where Moses is supposed to have seen the burning bush; the living bush on the grounds is purportedly the original. It is also referred to as "St. Helen's Chapel". The site is sacred to Judaism, Christianity and Islam.

Inclusions: Air-conditioned vehicle, Lunch

Exclusions: Personal expenses, Drinks at the restaurant during the lunch., Tipping

At the end of April we were on holiday in Sharm el Sheikh. Our group wanted to visit the city and, by luck, we booked a city tour with the Sharm Smile Tour. We liked it very much. We were all delighted with this experience. There were wonderful few hours, which passed very quickly. We really appreciated the fact that our guide speaks English very well and gave us a lot of interesting information. We enjoyed the tour, we have beautiful memories and the joy that we had a good guide and all the organization of the tour was carefully done.

The tour on the mountain was great. I recommend a better warning on the cold weather on the mountain top and more tips on the description. For me there was miscommunication on both the pick up and the drop off so I was the last one picked up and the last one dropped off. I walked from the Royassat station to a hotel I was told to stand by and then after 40 mins was blamed for not standing in the right place and was picked up by a car to go to the van. Even though my drop off location was booked, there was still confusion and my drop off location somehow wasn't saved in the driver's system?? I recommend improving on this point of pick up and drop off.

It's a unique experience to follow the biblical history of the sacred mountain, where it’s believed Moses received the Ten Commandments. Climbing to the summit to watch a spectacular sunrise is worth the tough efforts you do. Our tips: - be ready for a cold weather on the top (ecpecially in winter season, snow, -C temperature) and take with you heavy clothes (gloves, hat, jacket); - you can take hot drinks with you in thermo cup and some snacks. The prices on the mountain are "touristic"; - wear comfortable shoes; - there is option to rent a camel if you are tired, but the last part of the route - 750 steps to the top you have to walk. Attention: we do not pick up at the airport, port or bus stations located on the ring road. The possible pickup locations are any hotel within Sharm-el-Sheikh and bus stations on El Salam road. The possible drop-off locations are any hotel within Sharm-el-Sheikh, airport main entrance gates (300m walking to terminal), bus stations on El Salam road.

Inclusions: Air-conditioned vehicle, Entrance fees, Hotel pickup and drop-off, Bedouin guide during climbing up the mountain

Exclusions: Food&Drink, Camel ride

I highly recommend taking this trip by plane. We booked less than 2 days in advance, there were almost no tickets left. We had business class seats to go. My name was wrong so I had to buy another ticket at the airport, maybe last seat on the plane. The agency was fair and deducted the amount from the total price agreed, very correct! From there, everything went very smooth. We were expected at the airport in Cairo by our guide Zenab and our driver. We had a private tour just for ourselves. We could go at our own pace. Zenab was a great guide and person. She was very welcoming and did her best to please us at all times. Overall, I totally recommend this travel agency, they are very thrust worthy and will guide you from and back to your hotel entrance. Thank you!!

DO NOT BOOK THIS… “Red Sea Experiences” are terrible tour operators. I do not know if this is even a genuine tour operation. If yes, they will definitely spoil your holiday! The only efficient part of their tour is when you make the payment while booking the tour. That went through fast, quick and without a problem. I booked a full-day tour to Dahab from Sharm El-Sheik. After I booked the tour, no one contacted me at all to tell me where, when and how they were going to pick me up. I called and no one responded. Finally closer to 6PM the previous day, I got a response saying that they will let me know in an hour. Then later in the night I was told that there would be a pick up at 7:20AM the next day at the hotel reception. So I got to the hotel reception at exactly 7:20AM and true to the previous day’s experience, they never showed up. They were completely unreachable through message or even phone – the phone number listed does not work for you to reach them, it’s a facade. I was waiting for almost 1.5 hours before I realized that they were never going to show up and decided to go back. I cannot believe how this is listed under viator/tripadvisor – are there no due diligence done before enlisting the tours companies?!!! I do not even know if I am going to get my refund!!!! This has been the single worst holiday experience
