Things to know

Important Notes

  • This is a moderate-paced hiking experience, suitable for most fitness levels, with no summit climb required.

  • Wear comfortable hiking shoes or trainers with good grip for rocky desert terrain.

  • Bring sun protection (hat, sunglasses, sunscreen), as shade is limited during parts of the walk.

  • Carry a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated throughout the hike.

  • During cooler months, temperatures in Saint Catherine can drop significantly, especially in the early morning and higher areas, so it is essential to bring warm layers and a good jacket.

  • Mobile signal may be limited in some valley areas, expect a more disconnected, peaceful nature experience.

  • Flashlights or headlamps are strongly recommended as your experience includes early morning or nighttime movement.

  • Keep cash available for optional personal purchases or additional Bedouin tea/refreshments.

  • A valid passport is required for checkpoints and must be kept accessible during travel.

Best Time to Visit

  • The best time to take this hike is between October and May when temperatures are cooler and more comfortable for hiking, especially at night.
