Book your perfect Mount Sinai Tour
Memphis Tours is simply AMAZING! A well-deserved 5 stars—or even 10/10! From our very first contact via SMS, I knew we were in good hands. The entire team is professional, knowledgeable, organized, & genuinely committed to your best interests. They even called our hotel to arrange breakfast boxes for our 10 PM departure. That level of thoughtfulness speaks volumes! Our driver, Mr. Abdul, drives like a Formula 1 champion and got us there in no time! Our guide, Mr. Sallama, was exceptionally knowledgeable and could guide in several languages, including English and German. The highlight was meeting Mr. Mohammad, our Bedouin guide, whose kindness and patience helped me overcome my fears & accomplish the mission of reaching the summit! The entire experience was truly magical, surreal, & unforgettable. And the photographs! Mr. Mohammad’s passion for photography shines through in every shot. The pictures are absolutely magazine-worthy, capturing beautiful memories we will treasure forever. What truly sets this team apart is how seamlessly everyone works together—professional, caring, efficient, & absolutely no unnecessary fuss! I would give Memphis Tours 5 stars without hesitation—or 10/10 if I could! Thank you, Mr. Abdul, Mr. Sallama, & Mr. Mohammad, for making this adventure a memory of a lifetime. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Saint Catherine's Monastery, Sinai: The Burning Bush
In the monastery we could see the burning bush before which Moses met God.
wreckess tour driver.
In 15 years of travelling thru out many Asian and Middle Eastern countries, this is the first tour where we feared for our lives during a tour. The driver (it was a. 280 km drive to Mt Sinai from our hotel in Sharm El Sheikh) ignored any posted speed limit, driving at times close to 150 km/hour (95 miles per hr) on a 2 way curved road. At one point tailgating a van, trying to pass 2 other tourist vans and a truck with a visible car incoming on the other side. TOTALLY wreckless!!! We had already noticed that the driver was driving way over the speed limit during the overnight drive to Mt Sinai the night before, but never made any remarks as there was little traffic at the time. we just felt bounced left and right during the drive. I have 2 advices : - Use another company to book your Mt Sinai tour; there a many good companies out there with much more responsible drivers. - to the tour company, Memphis Tours, install a speed limiter in your drivers cars/vans to prevent excessive speeding and putting tourists in danger. Driving 140-150 km/hour on a 2 way road is just wreckless.
Great hike
We had a great hike ab to mousas mountain it was 7 km all the way ab Or guide Mohammed he was good Bedouin guide and he was all the with us Very beautiful landscape from the the top If you visit the place for you
A wonderful experience
Sallam is a seasoned professional who us clearly well known and respected by the Bedouin at the Mountain. He has an incredible knowledge of the area and is fluent in English and German. He arranged a guide for us, who was very experienced and thoughtful. A small group is better, if you can afford it because if there is a problem with someone then the impact is limited to your group. It’s not an easy walk and you need a certain degree of resilience more than fitness. There are plenty of opportunities to eat on the route and support the tribesmen economically. Take plenty if cash for tipping.
