About Saint Catherine
Saint Catherine is a high mountain village in southern Sinai, home to an ancient monastery below Mount Sinai and the tallest peaks in Egypt.
Saint Catherine lies at about 1,500 metres among bare granite mountains in the south of the Sinai Peninsula, inland from the Red Sea resort of Dahab. Its monastery, founded in the 6th century at the foot of Mount Sinai, is one of the oldest Christian monasteries still in use and is listed by UNESCO. Its high walls enclose a basilica, a small mosque, a library of ancient manuscripts and a bush said to be the burning bush of the Bible.
