4. Mount Sinai, Egypt

The current-day Mount Sinai is believed to be the location of the original Mount Sinai oft-mentioned in the Bible. This biblical Mount Sinai was famously where Moses received the Ten Commandments in the Old Testament and is thus a place of spiritual pilgrimage for the Abrahamic religions of Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. The 2, 285m peak of Mount Sinai is traditionally conquered during a night-time hike, ending with a majestic sunrise over the ancient landscape, often linked to spiritual revelations.
