The celebrated Monastery of Saint Catherine is considered one of the most famous monasteries in the world. Dating back to the age of the emperor Justinian in the 6th century, it is also one of the oldest Christian monasteries. It is located in heart of the Sinai Peninsula and is said to be the biblical location where Moses saw the bush on fire.

The Monastery is orthodox and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The monastery was named Saint Catherine at the beginning of the 11th century in honor of Saint Catherine, one of the earliest Alexandria Christians martyrs. It contains several monuments like the burning bush seen by Moses and the remarkable Icons Gallery.
