    Mount Sinai is one of the most sacred mountains on the African continent.

    The one that is renamed the mountain of Moses culminates at 2,285 meters above sea level. She owes this nickname to the biblical episode which relates the moment when Moses received the Ten Commandments from the hands of God. A chapel and a mosque top the summit.
