A tightly scheduled four-day circuit from Sharm el Sheikh that pairs Egypt’s Pharaonic highlights with Petra’s Nabataean rock-cut city and a pre-dawn climb up Mount Sinai. Expect long travel legs, early starts, and a mix of flat sightseeing and steep, stair-based hiking.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Before dawn you leave the lights of Sharm el Sheikh behind and the desert takes the wheel—the road a black ribbon under a sky that will soon ignite at Mount Sinai’s summit. By sunrise you’re counting steps and inhaling cold, clear air; by midday you’re threading the Siq into Petra’s rose-red throat; by evening the Nile’s slow current has washed the dust from your shoes.
