What is Saint Catherine Monastery?

Saint Catherine's Monastery is a Christian monastery located in the Sinai Peninsula of Egypt.
Located at the foot of Mount Sinai, it was built between 548 and 565, and is the world's oldest continuously inhabited Christian monastery. The monastery was built by order of the Byzantine emperor Justinian I, enclosing what is claimed to be the burning bush seen by Moses.

The monastery was built around the site traditionally considered to be the place of the burning bush seen by the Hebrew prophet Moses. Saint Catherine's monastery also encloses the 'Well of Moses', where Moses is said to have met his future wife, Zipporah. The well is still today one of the monastery's main sources of water.

The site is considered sacred by adherents of the three major Abrahamic religions: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
