St. Catherine Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

Digitized paper photo (taken in the 1990's). African adventures, areas where it is now unsafe to travel. The Greek Orthodox monastery at the foot of Mount Sinai (called Jabal Musa or Moses Mountain by the Arabs) is located at the very place where God appeared to Moses in the Burning Bush, beneath the Mount of the Decalogue (Exodus 31:18). This is the oldest continuously inhabited Christian monastery, with a history that can be traced back over seventeen centuries. The monastery has never been destroyed in all its history, and thus it can be said to have preserved intact the distinctive qualities of its Greek and Roman heritage. #Perspectives #Culture #LocalSecrets #History

Only if desperate
I am sorry to say that this is one of the worst hotels I have stayed in. The rooms were dirty, the food was basic and the entire place was run-down and unwelcoming (within minutes of my arrival the security guard was asking for money to look after my hire car that was parked on hotel property!). ...
