Do not listen to the Bedouins, choose a pace that is convenient for you and go, they will wait for you at the rest stops. I've fallen in love with mountains and hiking recently.These are my second conquered mountains. We took the tour in the so-called canal, realizing that this is not a path for weaklings and we will have to work hard to reach the top. In general, I can say that the path is not very difficult, but the time of the year and, accordingly, clothes play a significant role.We were on February 20th, 2025.It was about 6 degrees at night, at 10 a.m. it got warmer from the sun, but not hot, the wind did not let me relax. In this weather, I recommend warm socks, boots, a jacket, a hat, gloves and a change of clothes, preferably, or thermal underwear.Due to the temperature fluctuations, plus personal heat exchange, it happens that you sweat a lot, then cool down sharply and it's annoying.On the last rise, they sell warm blankets for rent($2)they saved us a lot. My husband and I were laughing at a guy on a bus in almost warm Alaska, and then we were jealous of him. As for romance, I was incredibly impressed by the climb. The starry sky, the moon is shining brightly that you don't even need a flashlight, the peaks of the peaks of the mountains, the hollows below, and of course the dawn itself, the mountains, the spitting camels, all this is worth seeing. I want to say separately about the Bedouins, the guys did well, they helped as much as they could and warmed and gave a hand and encouraged as they could. In our column, there was Jimmy in charge and two assistants named Josef-if it hadn't been for them, I would have frozen to death there. The guys controlled everyone, called them together, and the last one always checked if everything was in place. There were 3 stops in total to warm up and relax, tea is $ 2,toilet is $ 1, but in terms of cleanliness it is difficult, the toilet is only at the bottom, near the monastery of St. Catherine. So if you're a fan of testing yourself, go here. Suitable for people under 55 years of age and with strong strong legs.

She climbed Mount Moses in October 2024. I am 66 years old, but I am athletic, I walk a lot and still work at 2 jobs, I was able to cope with the night climb, very, very difficult (to put it mildly), but there were 2 women in our group (as it turned out, matchmakers), one of whom is 75 years old, the other is my age, but with hearing impairment. A 75-year-old grandmother with poorly walking legs, even in a straight line, could barely walk to the first stop in a Bedouin cafe-shop, where she safely passed the night, and her matchmaker glukhovtaya reached with a group, we all supported her, joked and humored a lot along the way, since it was very hard for everyone and nothing else there was nothing left but humor and inner silent prayer. Well, thank God, we reached, endured, joined, went down, terrified how we could climb such a road all night! I want to say that, after all, the tour operator needs to dissuade 65+ grandmothers from climbing Mount Moses and politely offer something not so extreme

Mount Moses. I went in February. We went out at night, around 01:30.I must say right away that the road is not an easy one. There is no need not to overestimate.The entire route is about 7km.Of course, there are Bedouins everywhere with camel taxis (for those who are tired).But I decided to walk myself.Very cold.Strong wind, minus temperature.Even in a hoodie and a jacket it was cold.There are stops with Bedouin cafes along the way.There you can warm up and drink hot tea.Dachshund:2 dollars).And don't forget about the 750 steps that will be waiting for you near the end of the journey (they take you there by camel taxi, then on foot).They are probably the most difficult. After them, there is a last stop with the Bedouins.There you can use blankets for $1 and climb to the very top in them.And it's very cold there, believe me).The entire route took about 4 hours at an average pace with stops.And the most important thing is to meet the dawn.In my case, it's 06-10 in the morning.But all the agony is worth it, because the view is simply amazing!!!!!
