Cairo Cairo to Mount Sinai...
Posted: Sat February 16, 2008 11:03 AM UTC
Greetings Folks!

I want to take East Delta Bus Co. on 21st Feb at 11 am to Saint Katherine, where it is expected to reach at 7 pm. After spending the night there, I wish to go up the mountain on 22nd Feb and descend the same day. Again spending the night there, I wish to return to Cairo on 23rd Feb by bus within 5pm. I have a return flight back to Dubai on 23rd Feb at 7.15 pm.

My question is...how do i buy return tickets for East Delta from Dubai? How much would the fare be?

What kind of weather to expect at St. Katherine? Are these buses comfortable and safe?

Any early response will help me place accordingly...

Cheers

I think I would have a rest when you arrive and start climbing about Midnight of the day you arrive. Watch the Sun come up from the sumit,You will be so exhausted by the time you get back down, Unless you take the easy way and do it by Camel. St Catherines opens about 9:30 am and you need a few hours to see through it.By then you will be completely Stuffed and washed out, But you will have time to think about what you want to do next, there is plenty of Mini Bus's doing the trips and are quite safe and the roads are not dangerous
