Über diese Aktivität
Mount Sinai is in the middle of the Sinai Peninsula, Egypt and rises 2,285 meters above sea level.
Mount Sinai is a 2,285-metre “7,497 ft” high mountain near Saint Catherine in the Sinai region. It is next to Mount St. Catherine “at 2,629 m/8,625 ft, the highest peak in Egypt” .It is surrounded on all sides by higher peaks of the mountain range.
Mount Sinai is said to be the place where Moses received the Ten Commandments from God; indeed, the Arabic name Gebel Musa means “Mount of Moses”. While there is very little archaeological evidence to support this assertion, the mountain is still a popular pilgrimage site and home to the Monastery of St. Catherine, a Greek Orthodox monastery founded in the 6th century, one of the longest-running monasteries in the world and itself at the supposed location of the Burning Bush. The small town of al-Mina, outside the entrance to the valley, has sprung up to cater to tourists
