St Katherine - Trad and Bouldering

Two hours drive from Dahab, you find the High Mountains of St Catherine. The village itself is very nice, nestled against the mountains in a beautiful Protected Area. Most famous for its religious significance (this is where God gave Moses the 10 Commandments), there is a whole new kind of pilgrimage taking place these days - the climbers!

As in Wadi Gnai and many parts of the Sinai Desert, what hits you most is the silence of the place. More often than not, you are the only climbers on the crag & in the whole area even! Stick to the village, basing yourselves at one of the Bedouin Camps, or get yourself deep into the desert on a trad climbing safari by camel! Help for self-sufficient climbers with route planning, topos, Bedouin guide, camels & more. Or come for a fully guided/coaching holiday.

On site trad climbing guide to help with planning (whether he guides you or not), Bedouin guides to get you to the right area & keep you supplied with tea and fresh cooked food all day long, and camels to do all the heavy lifting!
