| Busy at the Burning Bush |
St Catherine’s Monastery is sited at the base of the mountain and after our dawn climb, we were able to visit a few of their unique treasures. The Monastery was built at the time of Emperor Justinian, on the site where Moses saw the burning bush. Follow the link to see more detailed information about this UNESCO World Heritage Site.

| Quiet by the Well |
We were able to see a contemporary of the burning bush, the well where Moses first met his wife Zipporah, and inside the richly dark Byzantine style basilica. Athena, our guide had arranged a special treat for us. We moved on into the usually closed-to-the-pubic Museum & Library for a guided tour of its special treasures. It certainly is a rich treasure-hold for Christian faith.
