Mount Sinai, also known as the Mountain of Moses or Mount Hareh, is referred to as Har Sinai in Hebrew and Jabal Mūsā in Arabic. It is celebrated as the main location of divine revelation in Jewish history, where it is believed that God appeared to Moses and gave him the Ten Commandments (Exodus 20; Deuteronomy 5). Jewish tradition holds that not only the Ten Commandments but the entire body of biblical text and interpretation was revealed to Moses on Sinai. St. Catherine is a destination to visit the St. Catherine monastery, located 220 km northwest of Sharm el Sheikh, nestled between the St. Catherine’s mounts and Moses Mount.
