One of the most remarkable religious sites on earth. St Catherine’s Monastery was founded in the 6th century AD by Emperor Justinian I and has been inhabited by monks ever since. See its library of illuminated manuscripts, its collection of Byzantine icons and ancient mosaics, and stand before the Burning Bush, the bramble linked to the story in the Book of Exodus.
