Mount Catherine, also known as Jebel Katrinah, is the highest peak in Egypt and a great adventure for mountain climbers. This 2,629-meter (8,625-feet) high peak offers stunning vistas of the surrounding desert landscape, including views of Mount Sinai. The hike to the summit takes about 6-8 hours, depending on your fitness level, and is best attempted with a local guide during the cooler months.
