Das Katharinenkloster - Glaubensinsel auf dem Sinai, Ägypten | Schätze der Welt

Ever since Moses received the Ten Commandments there, Mount Sinai in Egypt has been one of the holiest sites in the Christian faith. At its foot lies the Monastery of St. Catherine. It is a Greek Orthodox center that has existed since the 6th century. St. Catherine sits like a fortress in the sea of ​​stone of the Sinai Desert. The film tells the long history of this special monastery. ------- #treasuresoftheworld #egypt #sinai #catherinemonastery #monastery #moses #unesco ------- Click here for the "Treasures of the World" playlist: https://bit.ly/treasures_of_the_world...
