Stage 10 of the Sinai Trail covers 13.7 km from Frush to Mount Sinai, with 1,017 m of ascent and 480 m of descent. The highest point is 2,258 m. Allow about 6 hours of walking, plus breaks.
Distance, climb and elevation come from the Outest route data. Difficulty and time are estimates from distance and climb; your pace will vary with heat, pack weight and photo stops.
فرش إلياس
Wild camp of the official 12-day Sinai Trail programme in Farsh Eliyas (Elijah's Basin), the hollow with a cypress tree and chapel just below the summit of Mount Sinai (Jebel Musa); you sleep in your own tent or under the stars and the Bedouin team cooks dinner and breakfast from camel-carried supplies. Nights are cold above 2,000 m; the summit is about 30 minutes above camp for sunset and sunrise.
إيكولج جبل سينا
Small Bedouin ecolodge with stone chalets and a shower block in Wadi Shreij, on the trail as it climbs to Mount Sinai. Listed on OpenStreetMap; its website was down in October 2026, so call first.
Checked online in October 2026. Places marked "not confirmed by the operator" are listed by the Sinai Trail, on OpenStreetMap or in guides but could not be checked on their own page. Between Ras Shetan and St Katherine you sleep in wild camps chosen by your Bedouin guides, in your own tent or under the stars; the team cooks and camels carry the water. Map points for camps the Sinai Trail does not publish are approximate.
