Sunrise Treks Around the World: 15 Worth the Alarm

74 tours  ·  from $16 a head

A 2am pickup is a hard sell until the first one. These 15 climb in the dark and reach a rim, a ridge or a temple terrace for first light, each with its pickup time, its walking length and what breakfast at the top amounts to.

“This trip to Mount Moses is something I will always remember. Watching the sunrise from the top of the mountain, with the desert around me in the early morning light, was a unique experience! The climb up the steps requires endurance and attention, as there are many uneven surfaces and stones. I used the flashlight on my phone but a proper flashlight would have been more convenient. I went in mid-February, and it was really cold and windy at the summit. We were told it was –2°C. I was wearing a long-sleeve shirt, a fleece, a down jacket, and a windproof jacket. I also rented a camel blanket. A hat…”
