As part of 2 day hike of Mount Sinai / Mozes and Mount Catherine in Sinai peninsula of Egypt, I recorded this section of the hike.

We ascended by Wadi Arbayeen route, summitted Mount Catherine and descended back to the village by Wadi Lahmer route, which is picturesque, colourful and impressive.

By law, you need to have to hike with a Bedouin guide.

If you need more details, please approach me.

The full trail of both Mount Sinai and Mount Catherine summits hike is recorded on my profile as below.

    It is one of the great hikes in Sinai area with new terrain, colours, rock formation, small water streams and green valleys here and there.
