- Discover the sacred site where, according to tradition, Prophet Moses saw the burning bush that was not consumed by fire. The monastery, built in the 6th century during the reign of Emperor Justinian, stands at the foot of Mount Sinai, where Moses is believed to have received the Ten Commandments. Later renamed St. Catherine in the 11th century, it honors the early Christian martyr Saint Catherine of Alexandria.
