How Difficult Is the Mount Sinai Climb?

The Mount Sinai sunrise tour requires several hours of walking during the night, followed by a steeper final section toward the summit. A reasonable level of fitness is recommended.

Darkness, cooler temperatures at altitude and the long overnight schedule can make the experience more demanding than a normal daytime walk. Comfortable walking or hiking shoes are strongly recommended.
