Dahab Sinai, Egypt Travel Guide
Mount Sinai & St. Catherine's Monastery are within easy reach. Organized tours are the standard and most direct way to visit these sites. Tours often depart in the late evening from Dahab for a sunrise ascent of Mount Sinai, followed by a morning visit to the monastery. Shared taxis are an option for a direct visit to the monastery without the hike.
A full day, or an overnight trip, is suitable for the sunrise hike. The hike itself takes about 3-4 hours up and 2-3 hours down.
