The Holy Monastery of Sinai

The Holy Monastery of Sinai is located in the Biblical land of Midian, at the site of the Burning Bush, and at the foot of Mount Sinai, where Moses received the revelation of the Law. In the Roman world, the area formed part of Arabia Petra, in distinction to Arabia Felix (centered around Damascus), and Arabia Deserta (the present day Saudi Arabia). Christians came to the area, escaping the persecutions, in the third century. They were succeeded by anchorites who deliberately went out into the desert, at the end of the third, and the beginning of the fourth centuries.

@PSAVA74 It is always such a disappointment not to be able to understand, especially if the title looks so interesting. We need youtube interpreters, lol.

The guy is saying that to visit the monastery you have to fly into Cairo, then get transportation to Mt. Sinai. This monastery has some of the finest and oldest Greek Orthodox art in the world. Staying at the monastery isn't very comfortable. Stay at the Nomad Village. The ancient monastery is a holy place.
