On the journey to the Promised Land, Moses stopped again at Sinai, climbed to the peak and received the Tablets of the Law. Among Christians, Mount Sinai is also revered as the shrine and resting place of Saint Catherine of Alexandria. To Moslems, it is sacred as the spot where, on a boulder near the peak, the camel bearing Mohammed to heaven left the imprint of one foot...
