Getting there

The walk starts at the St Catherine Monastry. There is a lot of parking available, although chances are you will be driven there via taxi or bus. 

Route/Trail notes

The walk starts at the Monastry (which is open 9:00-11:30 every day except Sunday and Friday). You can do the walk any time of the day regardless of whether the Monastry is open. For the most part the trail is very gradual climbing slowly through the hills along a very well formed trail. The views get more and more amazing the higher up you get. There are small shops along the way where locals sell drinks and chocolates and camel rides. There is a toilet almost at the top which has one of the best views of the entire walk. The only exception to the gradual incline is the final 750 steps to the summit. Once at the summit you can ring the church bell, and take some photos of the sunset/sunrise. 

Permits/Costs

There is a mandatory requirement to take a local guide with you to the top.
