View from the summit of Mount Sinai in Egypt

The view from the top of the mountain is certainly awe-inspiring. Rising to more than 2,100 metres in elevation, Mount Sinai is not the tallest peak in this part of Egypt, but it is by far the most culturally significant. Considered sacred within the Jewish, Islamic, and Christian faiths, Mount Sinai is said to have been the site where Moses received the Ten Commandments in a divine revelation. Important religious sites are found on and around Mount Sinai, including the 6th-century Saint Catherine's Monastery, a Greek Orthodox church built in 1934 and a mosque sitting at the mountain's summit. Such is the importance of this mountain that some say the Sinai Peninsula was named after it and not the other way around.
