God endowed the mountains of South Sinai with no mountains like them in the world, the most famous of which is the mountain of Moses in which the sacred valley is rolled up. Which are found in Taba, Nuweiba and Dahab, but these treasures are in limbo and not exploited, even though they are treasures full of rare goods and minerals.
Moses Mountain, "Here is Moses speaking to his Lord."Mount Moses lies between latitudes 6 32 28 north and longitude 38 58 33 east and the mountain rises about 7363 feet above the sea, which is approximately 2240 m, and the summit of Mount Moses is the most famous mountain peak in Sinai where it is related to the story of the Prophet of God Moses, peace be upon him, and ascending the mountain to receive Slabs of Sharia is one of the peaks of the Sinai (Mount Sinai), which includes the summits of the mountains of Al-Munajat and Al-Safafa and Catherine, and this summit is about two hours walk from St. Catherine Monastery on foot.On the top of the mountain is preserved ancient remains of the basilica dating back to the sixth century AD, and now the Holy Trinity Church was established in 1937 AD and it is offset by a small mosque whose foundations go back to the Fatimid era and specifically the era of the Fatimid Caliph commanding the rulings of God.The summit of Mount Moses gained great fame for its association with most historians with the story of God’s prophet Moses and received the slabs of Sharia. The summit of Mount Moses became a kiss for Christian travelers, historians, and pilgrims since the early centuries of Christianity. We have a description of her views on her famous journey, and that was in the years 381 AD - 384 AD and visited the holy places in Sinai. She mentioned several villages and churches that existed at the time, including the church at the top of Mount Moses, and that the summit has become a global tourist destination to enjoy the view of the sunrise In a breathtaking view, it cannot be seen from any other mountain peak.There are several ways we can reach the top of Mount Moses, and the most important of these are:
First: The path of the monks “The Stairs” “The Path of the Prophet of God Moses”
This road consists of about 3750 degrees of rock made by the first monks, which is a shortcut, but it is arduous, sloping and very dangerous, and this road starts from behind the Monastery of Saint Catherine from the southeastern side.
This road was mentioned in the journey of the martyr Antonius to Sinai in the sixth century, shortly after the construction of the monastery. This road is interrupted by two gates of granite rocks and they are separated from each other for a distance of approximately 300 meters. He represents the palm tree next to it in the name of "Stephanos," which is St. Stephen the engineer who built these gates.
