Up to a thousand visitors come to visit Saint Catherine’s Monastery, the oldest continuously inhabited monastery in the world built on the site where Moses (Prophet Musa) talked to God in the miracle of the Burning Bush and climbed Mount Sinai (the Biblical Mt. Horeb, known locally as Jebel Musa), where Moses received the Ten Commandments.

St. Catherine and Mt. Sinai can be visited independently, avoiding the busy times on the mountain and discovering the rest of what this unique region offers.
