Mount Sinai and Saint Catherine's Monastery built in 565 AD, by Emperor Justinian I, located on the Sinai Peninsula,
Egypt, at the foot of Mount Sinai that claims to be the mountain of the burning bush where, according to the Torah, New Testiment, and the Quran,
Moses received the Ten Commandments. The 7,500 foot climb to the top is part camel ride and then by foot. At the summit is "Moses' cave", where
Moses was said to have waited to receive the Ten Commandments. During your visit don't miss the tour of the monastary it houses irreplaceable
works of art: the best collection in the world of 120 icons dated back to the 5th and 6th centuries.

The view of the mountains of the Sinai Peninsula
jetting up out of the sea is spectacular! This is where the myth of Moses on Mount Sinai spoke to Yahweh via a burning bush, and received the
commandments.
