FAQs
All levels are welcome as we are keen to keep our climbing retreats accessible to all climbers to connect with fellow like-minded adventurers. However, safety comes first, so limited spots for beginners are available.
If you've only climbed indoors before, our instructors will soon get you making the most of Sinai's outdoor crags. Groups will initially be divided into "beginners and advanced". Don't worry, your guides will be on hand to help you at all times. Kindly, let us know your level in advance so we can plan the groups accordingly.
Yes, gear is included but ensure to let us know in advance your shoe size in EU and waist size S/M, M/L, or L/XL, so we can prepare the gear we need to bring. Please bring your personal gear if you have it.
Your transport to/from Dahab to the crag is provided as a group. You pick-up location within Dahab will be shared in advance and we will head back to the same drop-off late afternoon on the return date. There will be a limit to how many people we can take, so please confirm as soon as possible.
Like all its sister countries around the Middle East, the climbing season in Sinai begins from October to May. Since we are going during the winter it will be cold, so pack warm clothes with you.
