Mount Sinai

Also known as Jebel Musa

Mount Sinai is a mountain of about 2,285 metres in the south of the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt, traditionally identified as the biblical mountain where Moses received the Law. Saint Catherine's Monastery, founded under Justinian I, stands at its foot, and the mountain has drawn Christian, Jewish and Muslim pilgrims since late antiquity.
