St. Catherine\u2019s Monastery<\/strong> is located at the foot of Mount Sinai in the heart of the Sinai Peninsula, about a two-hour drive from Sharm el-Sheikh. Surrounded by barren mountains and desert, the sudden sight of this fortress-like monastery makes a striking impression. In 2002, it was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founded in the 4th century on the site of the biblical Burning Bush, the monastery is one of the oldest continuously operating Christian monasteries in the world. It was here, according to tradition, that God revealed Himself to Moses in the flames of the bush and where the Ten Commandments were later received.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the 6th century, the Byzantine emperor Justinian I ordered the construction of stone walls, turning the monastery into a fortress. In 625, the Prophet Muhammad granted the monks a written guarantee of protection, ensuring the monastery\u2019s safety under both Arab and Ottoman rule. As a result, the monastery has never been destroyed or looted throughout its long history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the 11th century, it was named after St. Catherine of Alexandria, whose relics had been kept there since the 8th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
