The Seven Summits Hike

The Sinai Trail is getting ready for its spring thru hiking season 2023, and they’ll be walking the grand, westerly mountain chain of the Sinai, scaling its seven big summits of Sinai on this new hike.

Conquering the Seven

The Sinai Trail is divided into four separate sections. On this trip, participants will hike its mountain section, scaling the so-called ‘Seven Summits’ of the Sinai. It’s a 220km, 14-day traverse of the Middle East’s grandest, most fabled mountain landscapes and a challenging route for which a good level of mountain fitness and experience is essential.

Participants will scramble through rocky canyons, cross water pools, walk wild green wadis, climb the Sinai’s highest, travel the way the Bedouin have always traveled these landscapes– walking with camels and sleeping below the desert stars. With this, the Sinai Trail Seven Summits Thru Hike is a route for anybody who wants to go deep into the region’s mountain landscapes.

Timing and Location

The Seven Summits Hike will run from May 5 to 18, 2023. The entire journey will explore the accessible parts of Sharm El Sheikh, a city and a resort town on the southern tip of the Sinai Peninsula.
