We have teamed up with CARE Egypt to offer an exciting hiking challenge in 2012.

The Challenge
The CARE Egypt challenge will take place around St Catherine’s, situated in the heart of the Sinai Peninsula. On this challenge you will be led by Bedouin guides to tackle three mountains over three days.

You will experience the best of the Sinai, as each mountain is home to numerous archaeological sites and monuments. This includes Mt Catherine, the highest mountain in Egypt, where at the summit you will be rewarded with stunning views of the whole of the Sinai.The area is sacred to three world religions: Christianity, Islam and Judaism. Due to its natural and cultural significance, the region has UNESCO World Heritage status.

You will be supported at every stage of the CARE Egypt challenge: from pre-event preparation, training and fundraising advice to event support, which includes an experienced events team and guides on hand to help.

The fundraising target of £1,100 includes transport from the airport at Cairo and back, refreshments and food for the duration of the event. Flights are not included but we will support you with all logistics. Funds raised will help some of the world's poorest people, so you can be assured that every drop of sweat will be worthwhile.

The challenge will be co-run by the CARE challenge team in the UK and Egypt – we don’t employ any agencies so more of your money goes directly to our projects, and you will get an authentic taste of Egypt from guides and staff that really know the area.

Follow in the footsteps of prophets, pilgrims and warriors and enjoy Egypt’s cultural heritage, captivating views and rugged, mountainous terrain.
