Jebel Serbal
Dominating the view over Wadi Feiran, the rugged Jebel Serbal is a tough trek. Although there are a few higher mountains in the Sinai, the route starts closer to sea level than at any of the other mountains, so in fact it is the longest climb. The most common route starts from the Convent into Wadi Aliyat, and it is a day to reach the mountain top. You find little secluded basins, water sources, gardens, ancient ruins and inscriptions – then of course the views: you can see the Gulf of Suez and mainland Egypt, the desert to the north and the high mountains to the south.
