It is possibly the place where Moses was given the Ten Commandments, according to the Torah, Bible, and Quran, .
It is a 2,285-metre (7,497 ft) high mountain near the city of Saint Catherine in the region known today as the Sinai Peninsula. The mountain is surrounded on all sides by higher peaks in its mountain range. It is next to Mount Catherine which, at 2,629 m or 8,625 ft, is the highest peak in Egypt.[1]
