I will be staying in Sharm El Sheikh for 5 days.

One day I would like to visit St. Catherine's Monastary & climb Mt. Sinai.

Are there tour groups for this or is it easier to rent a car?

How long is the trip (one way) from Sharm El Sheikh to Mt. Sinai?

Is there dining at St. Catherine's Monastary?

Are there rooms for sleeping at St. Catherine's Monastary?

Thanks,

Willie

oo room and car and such things
Catrine moutnain is just a mountain you climb to see the sunshine you cant even climb by car or such thing but you can go to there by car sure.,it is hard to find a bus from sharm to catrine but easy to find from catrine to sharm in the morning sure
remember the mountain at the night will be EXTREMELY COLD you should arrive there before the sunshine with 2-3 hours as it takes 2 hours to climb .,you can use a camel till the stairs "about 700 stairs"
remember to take water and such thing the earlier the better when climbing because you will be exhausted and better to take a rest when you arrive.
dont forget to take your camera and wear something heavy or you will be freezed even in August.
hope that helps
