Why not? I climbed the last time on November 19, 2009. Just don't forget warm clothes. They will come in handy at the top.

in fact, God called only Moses there, and forbade mere mortals to climb! Considering that a guy from Russia recently broke down and died there, the question arises: what for climbing mountains at night? the one who carries the coffin on his shoulders! read the bible!

In fact, whoever climbs this mountain in the footsteps of Moses with a pure heart, many sins are forgiven. Therefore, there is such a pilgrimage. Read the Bible!!!

For some, this excursion is a pilgrimage, for others it is simply interesting to climb the mountain and meet the dawn there. In any case, the program is interesting and worth attention.

Something of the pilgrims was not very noticed on this excursion, more and more tipsy and just interested, they did not see more than one praying!

In 2009, a student from Russia died on Mount Moses precisely during the descent by this extreme route. But still, he deliberately turned off the path to the side.
What can I advise people who want to climb Mount Sinai. Whoever has health problems, self-doubt, it is better to immediately take a camel to walk the last 700 steps to the top of the mountain. For those who have serious problems with the cardio-pulmonary system, it is better not to climb Mount Moses, but only go on an excursion to the monastery of St. Catherine, located at the foot of the mountain. No need to take small children with you, you can from 12 years old.
It is not necessary to dress warmly, I personally dressed in a long-sleeved flannel shirt and a windbreaker and sweated a lot during the ascent. I had to take the windshield off. But it’s quite cold to stand on the top waiting for sunrise, it’s better to take a sweater with you and wear it for this time than to take an unknown blanket from the Bedouins. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes, women should not wear shoes with high heels. Take a drink with you so as not to buy it on the mountain, it is expensive there. It is better to take a flashlight with you, the one that the guides give is bad, but if you lose it, pay a decent fine.
I recommend climbing Mount Moi

Here are some tips for those who decide to make a pilgrimage to Mount Moses.
1. At the top you will need warm clothes. If you flew to Egypt in winter, then take your winter jacket, hat and gloves, put on warm socks on your feet. If you arrived in the summer, then take care of your clothes in Russia. It is very cold and windy there. You can rent a camel blanket for $5.
2. Take water with you at the rate of 0.5 liters per person. This will be enough.
3. Do not talk while lifting, do not smoke. Save your strength.
4. Do not eat or drink anything while camping in tents. After eating, you will not be able to get up on your own.
5. Arabs are very intrusive. They will offer you a camel, tea, tea, camel, tea and camel again. And so every 2-3 minutes. If you don't need anything, don't talk to them at all. If you talk, it will be hard to get rid of them. And after the rejection, they are very angry with you. When you go down, Bedouin children will stand along the road and impose their souvenirs on you. Also ignore if you don't want to buy. We just passed by, but even then a Bedouin girl of 7-8 years old waved a stick at us because they didn’t take anything.

6. When you are taken on a tour, they will tell you that on the mountain during the dawn, the icons are charged with energy in a special way and are consecrated. And they will bring them to a store with crazy prices for icons, they will call this store a church and will not be allowed to take pictures inside it. In this "church" Arabic music will play and Arab sellers will sell you icons at a cosmic price (supposedly made of silver and gold). Do not take. Do you remember my article about how guides cheat you for money?

Yes. Everything is correct. I took a backpack in which there were: a flashlight (I was lucky, and the guide gave a good one. I didn’t use mine), a warm Light jacket, and a half-liter thermos with tea. At the top, after the ascent, you will quickly cool down, although it will be hot during the ascent and I took off my jacket and hid everything in my backpack. And you want to warm up. Hot tea with lemon inspired me a lot. A stocked sandwich with cheese just brought to life. But it's at the top. Not while climbing. Note that the ascent continues for THREE hours at a GOOD pace. In complete darkness. Flashlights in the hands of everyone look bewitching. I'm into fitness, but even for me, this climb was difficult. Many of us were in hotels for three days, they could not move an arm or a leg. Going down is no less difficult. An unusual group of muscles works, the calf muscle was very sore. Comfortable shoes and free hands are required. The backpack is just great.
But the photos that I took there, I still look with pleasure.
