Saint Catherine (also referred to as St. Catherine or Sant Catre) is positioned centrally in the Sinai Peninsula of Egypt, encircled by the mountains that are very powerful in spirituality and serene. The town that is silent is the place of the famous Saint Catherine's Monastery, the oldest Christian monastery still functioning, and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
People of faith and non-religious people visit Saint Catherine to ascend Mount Sinai (Jebel musa), which is the place where Moses received the Ten Commandments according to tradition. The view at sunrise from the top is nothing but sweeping and very majestic, giving you the very wide view over the rugged desert and the far-off mountain peaks.

The entire area, with its tranquil atmosphere, is suitable for eco-tourism, inner peace seeking, and adventure travel - all at once. The locals will not only share their warmth and hospitality with you but will also let you in on the things that they do like cooking Sinai-style, showing the places where ancient chapels, gardens, and natural wonders are.
If you are a person who frequents places of faith, or one who loves history, or just enjoying the outdoors, then Saint Catherine is a place where you can stay and rest as the wilderness takes over spirituality, hence the timeless beauty moves everyone who comes there deeply.
