Itinerary
Early pick up from your hotel in Sharm El Sheikh, to enjoy a wonderful day trip to St. Catherine Monastery and Moses Mount 220 km Northwest, arriving at St.Catherine with a rest stop at the Monastery guest house for refreshment. Following this, your big climb up Moses Mount, which takes around 3 hours to climb the 7,498-foot peak following the Path of Moses, a stairway of nearly 700 steps which has to be done by foot reaching the Chapel of the Holy Trinity on the peak of Moses Mount, It is the spot where Moses had received the Ten Commandments and for you to view the stunning scenery of the sunrise over the mountains of Sinai. After the descent, visit the Monastery of St.Catherine. Within its imposing walls rests a citadel like no other, incredibly rich in important religious and historical structures. Among its treasures is a library of ancient manuscripts and icons second only to the Vatican itself, and a 6th Century Church reputed to lie directly on the site of the Burning Bush. Quite simply, the Monastery is a defining feature of the Holy Land. Then drive you back to your hotel in Sharm El Sheikh.

Our trip to Egypt was truly special. While every ancient site was breathtaking, the most memorable moment came during our Nile cruise. Our guide, Ahmed, saw our genuine curiosity about local life. He arranged for us to take a small boat to a remote village, where we shared mint tea with a local family. Sitting on their rooftop, we watched the sunset over the river and listened to their stories,

The True Heart of Egypt

The transition between countries was completely seamless, and the coordination between the teams in Egypt and Jordan was flawless. It felt like one continuous, well-planned journey.

A Fantastic Journey with Unexpected Costs

I was worried about the long drive, but the private vehicle was so comfortable and our guide was an absolute expert. He made the time fly by with incredible stories and details about the sites. Seeing the Valley of the Kings in person was a spiritual experience.

A Day That Felt Like a Week

I have always wanted to do a hot air balloon ride, and Luxor was the perfect place. The team was so organized from the hotel pick-up to the smooth landing. The flight itself was so peaceful, and the view of the Nile and the fertile lands was beautiful. A must-do.

Our family's trip to Egypt was a dream. The Pyramids amazed us all, and cruising the Nile was pure magic. Our guide made history exciting for the kids! A perfect family adventure. Highly recommend Memphis Tours.

An Unforgettable Journey Through Ancient Egypt!

I was a bit nervous about the height, but once we were up there, all my fear was gone. It was so quiet and tranquil.

Simply Magical

Our group of friends chose this tour, and it was a phenomenal experience. The guides were charismatic and funny, making the days of sightseeing feel like a fun outing rather than a history lesson. We especially enjoyed the horse-and-carriage ride at Edfu, which was a fun and memorable part of the trip. The cruise ship offered a great space for us to relax and socialize in the evenings.
