Mount Sinai Trek
Plan a guided ascent of Mount Sinai, also known as Moses Mountain, as a focused hiking experience or part of a wider Saint Catherine and South Sinai journey.
Explore the Sinai & Saint Catherine TourActive Travel in Egypt
Walk beyond Egypt’s classic sightseeing routes on a private journey shaped around your pace. Explore Mount Sinai, the highlands of Saint Catherine, desert canyons and remote mountain landscapes through carefully planned day hikes or multi-day trekking programs.
A Different Side of Egypt
Egypt hiking tours reveal a quieter side of the country: granite peaks above Saint Catherine, narrow sandstone canyons in South Sinai, open desert valleys and long-distance mountain routes. These journeys are for travelers who want to experience the landscape on foot, not only see it through a vehicle window.
Alacart Travel Egypt can shape a hiking or trekking program around your travel dates, preferred level of challenge and wider Egypt itinerary. Your route, transfers, overnight arrangements and any cultural extensions are discussed before the program is confirmed.

Start with a classic summit walk or build a deeper route through valleys, canyons and desert mountains. Each format can be adapted to your interests and available time.

Find Your Format
You do not need to build your entire Egypt holiday around hiking. Choose one focused day outdoors or make trekking the central theme of a longer private journey.
A focused introduction
Suitable for travelers who want one active experience within a broader stay in Sinai or another nearby destination.
More time outdoors
Add a night away from the main resort areas and allow more time for desert scenery, slower pacing and a deeper route.
A trekking-led journey
Connect several days of walking with planned transfers and stays, shaped around the group’s fitness and preferred level of comfort.
Tailor-Made Active Travel
A hiking journey can stand alone, but it can also connect naturally with Cairo, a Nile cruise or time beside the Red Sea. We design the sequence around travel time and recovery, helping the active part of your trip feel integrated rather than added at the last minute.
