Travel guide to Mount Sinai

chapel on mt sinai

Known as the "Holy Land", followers of Christianity, Judaism and Islam had over thousands of years, crossed this vast wilderness and desert to pay homeage to Moses' land.

So what is there to see and do at Sinai??

Well, many prepare themselves to climb the Stairs of Repentence on the 2,286m tall MOUNT SINAI (also known as MOUNT MOSES), where Moses received two tablets upon which God had inscribed the Ten Commandments, as well as precise dimensions for the Arc of the Covenant, a portable box-like shrine that would contain the tablets.

After your descent, head to the formidable St Cathereine's Monastey which was constructed by the order of the Emperor of Justinian between 527 and 565 AD.

As you explore the monastery, you will will notice an evergreen bush with a chapel built around it. This is the ‘Burning Bush’ where Moses came upon and where God spoke to him. [edit text] [editors]
