Above the deep valley lies the mountain which has been named
Mount Sinai. The monastery of St. Catherine's is built around the alleged burning bush of
Moses. The monastery is Greek Orthodox. A delightful structure has been built over the
centuries here, containing a church built in the middle of the 6th century, monks houses,
gardens, a hostel, and even a mosque. It all feels like a tiny, tiny village.
