The monastery lies at the foothills of Gebel Moses (Mount Sinai), on whose summit Moses received the tablets of the law inscribed with the Ten Commandments. The monastery dates back to the reign of Emperor Justinian in the 6th century, when the surrounding enclosure walls were also built. It was named St Catherine’s at the beginning of the 11th century in honour of Saint Catherine, one of the earliest Christian martyrs of Alexandria.
