Saint Catherine's Monastery lies on the Sinai Peninsula, at the mouth of a gorge at the foot of Mount Sinai in the city of Saint Catherine in Egypt's South Sinai Governorate. The monastery is Orthodox and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This monastery is one of the oldest working Christian monasteries in the world together with the Monastery of Saint Anthony, situated across the Red Sea in the desert south of Cairo, which also lays claim to that title.

SUMMARY
=======
The Sinai Peninsula or simply Sinai (now usually ) is a peninsula in Egypt, and the only part of the country located in Asia. It is situated between the Mediterranean Sea to the north and the Red Sea to the south, and is a land bridge between Asia and Africa. Sinai has a land area of about 60,000 km2 (23,000 sq mi) and a population of approximately 1,400,000 people. Administratively, the Sinai Peninsula is divided into two governorates: the South Sinai Governorate and the North Sinai Governorate. Three other governorates span the Suez Canal, crossing into African Egypt: Suez Governorate on the southern end of the Suez Canal, Ismailia Governorate in the center, and Port Said Governorate in the north.
The Sinai Peninsula has been a part of Egypt from the First Dynasty of ancient Egypt (c. 3100 BC). This comes in stark contrast to the region north of it, the Levant (present-day territories of Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel and Palestine), which, due largely to its strategic geopolitical location and cultural convergences, has historically been the center of conflict between Egypt and various states of Mesopotamia and Asia Minor. In periods of foreign occupation, the Sinai was, like the rest of Egypt, also occupied and controlled by foreign empires, in more recent history the Ottoman Empire (1517–1867) and the United Kingdom (1882–1956). Israel invaded and occupied Sinai during the Suez Crisis (known in Egypt as the Tripartite Aggression due to the simultaneous coordinated attack by the UK, France and Israel) of 1956, and during the Six-Day War of 1967. On 6 October 1973, Egypt launched the Yom Kippur War to retake the peninsula, which was unsuccessful. In 1982, as a result of the Israel–Egypt Peace Treaty of 1979, Israel withdrew from all of the Sinai Peninsula except the contentious territory of Taba, which was returned after a ruling by a commission of arbitration in 1989.
Today, Sinai has become a tourist destination due to its natural setting, rich coral reefs, and biblical history. Mount Sinai is one of the most religiously significant places in the Abrahamic faiths.
'Sinai is Safe' campaign launched to help boost tourist numbers
The number of tourists visiting Egypt's Sinai region have fallen once again - as militants wage war against government security forces.
Now efforts are underway to try and bring visitors back to the area.
Their message is clear.
Backed by campaign group Sinai is Safe, 60 walkers are embarking on a two-day trek to the top of Mount Abbas, which looks out over Egypt's southern stretch of land.
They want to show that it's a safe place to visit - despite an ongoing militant campaign north of the tourist destinations.
That hasn't bothered Mary Girgis from Cairo.
''I came because I love the Sinai and I love hiking and I wanted to see this part of Egypt. Some people were worried about me, saying why are you going there, you're crazy. But I said no, Sinai is the most beautiful place, we have to go, if we (Egyptians) don't go then who will go? So I came,'' says Mary.
The most recent attack - in which 33 security personnel died near Al Arish on 24 October - prompted the government to declare a three-month state of emergency in parts of northern Sinai.
It's left many tourists - both Egyptian and foreign - wary of visiting the once busy tourist sites of South Sinai that include the World Heritage site and national park, St Katherine Protectorate.
The 4,350 square metre protectorate was established in 1996 and boasts a wealth of historical sites sacred to Islam, Christianity and Judaism including the St Katherine's Monastery, Mount Sinai and the Rock of Moses.
It's also more than 210 miles (350 kilometres) south of last month's attack - with local guides arguing it's completely safe for visitors.
''We want to tell everyone not to be afraid, come and see for yourself, says Sheikh Ahmed, a Bedouin Mountain Guide from the Jabaleya Tribe.
We guarantee the safety of everyone in this area. We the tribes of St Katherine's and South Sinai guarantee the safety and security of everyone here. Any person, especially Europeans or Americans and other nationalities should come and see the place for themselves. This place is safe, nothing happens here.''
But violence has reached further south.
In February this year, an attack on a South Korean tourist bus near Taba killed two South Koreans and their Egyptian driver.
And as a consequence fifteen European countries issued a travel warning covering the entire Sinai Peninsula.
That, coupled with a serious drop-off in the number of people visiting Egypt since the 2011 revolution, has hit the country's tourism industry hard.
More than 14.7 million tourists visited Egypt in 2010, dropping to 9.8 million in 2011 and shrinking again to 9.5 million last year.
It's also done nothing to help Egypt's battered economy.
According to government figures, tourism contributes 11.3 percent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and 14.4 percent of foreign currency revenues to the country's economy.
We are facing challenges ahead. We have a war on terrorism. However the market (international tourism market) indeed wants Egypt back (on the tourism map). People wanted to come to Egypt for the last four years and eventually tourists will come back to Egypt, says Walid El Batouty, from the World Federation of Tourists Guide Associations.
He continues: South of Sinai is completely safe. The government were very successful in getting the native bedouins in South Sinai to share with the government in securing tourism. They had a mutual interest in securing tourism. But in the north of Sinai, we never had tourists going to El Arish (North Sinai) and it was never on our tourism map. The government had plans to develop North Sinai. However these development plans now will stop for some time.
St Katherine's has been particularly hard hit by the tourism crisis.

A Bedouin Perspective on Life
Hemaid, a Bedouin man from Dahab, South Sinai, Egypt, speaks about life and peace.
Local bedouins take part in inaugural competition
(6 May 2018) LEADIN:
A Bedouin fishing village is being transformed into a water-sports destination.
And the locals are getting in on the act, taking part in the first kite-surfing competition in Dahab.
STORYLINE:
Gliding through the water, this kite surfer makes it look easy.
But not everyone could make a jump like this.
These are the first generation of Bedouin kite surfers.
They grew up here in Dahab, around 80 kilometres (50 miles) north of Sharm el-Sheikh.
Mohamed Eid is a local Bedouin and a champion wind-surfer.
We don't have sports activities here so all the youths end up working with camels or going fishing at sea. Sports are good because they encourage the next generations to be more sport-orientated or to do anything new and this is good, says Eid.
He has won several competitions in Egypt for windsurfing and his older brother Himeid won a kite surfing competition in Ras Sudr, Egypt.
More recently they have all focused on kite surfing.
God willed it, all the family is kite surfing, he laughs.
No more pulling fishing lines for these Bedouin.
Today they will be pulling the lines of their kites.
After the routine sweet tea and breakfast, the Bedouin surfers are heading to Dahab's first kite surfing competition in an area called Laguna.
Mohamed's younger brother Abdu and his friends are competing in all disciplines.
Organisers Kristina Aleksejunaite and Nerijus Ragauskas are from Lithuania.
Earlier this year they road tripped around Egypt with their two children in an effort to promote tourism in Egypt.
With this event they aim to kick-start kite surfing tourism in Dahab.
With this event we are wanting to show people that kite surfing is perfect here and they can come and improve their skills here, says Aleksejunaite.
The very strong winds mean that only certain competitors can take part.
We got ten participants that could compete on the extremely strong wind. The gust was up to forty knots, it's like incredible.
Today's category is called Big Air, in which the kite surfer must stay in the air as long as possible before landing on his board.
The judges are joined by an audience of locals and Bedouin fishermen watching the stunts.
Awad Munthid, a local Bedouin fisherman, is enjoying his day off due to the strong winds.
I come here every day to go fishing but when there is wind I don't go fishing because of the currents and the waves. So when they come to play I sit and watch them, says Munthid.
The kite surfers perform their jumps at quite astonishing heights and some stay in the air for up to seven seconds.
The next day kicks off with the women's freestyle competition in which there are five participants.
Next up is the men's freestyle competition that has eleven participants of which five were local Bedouin.
In the audience of Bedouin fishermen, Sami Jimeia has been following some of the local kids for a while.
I observe the local youth of Dahab and see them get better every year.
Mohamed's younger brother, Abdu Eid, is one of the surfing locals.
He is aiming to dedicate his life to this sport.
I want to continue and do more God willing. I'd like to enter world championships and I hope to get sponsored God willing.
His big brother gets ready to perform a free-style trick.
One after the other the kite surfers show off their talents, cheered on by the audience.
The competition is a hit and the organisers don't want to stop here.
In November we're planning the progress camp, says Aleksejunaite.

amazing facts on egypt
gypt (/ˈiːdʒɪpt/ (About this soundlisten) EE-jipt; Arabic: مِصر Miṣr, Egyptian Arabic: مَصر Maṣr, Coptic: Ⲭⲏⲙⲓ Khēmi), officially the Arab Republic of Egypt, is a country spanning the northeast corner of Africa and southwest corner of Asia by a land bridge formed by the Sinai Peninsula. Egypt is a Mediterranean country bordered by the Gaza Strip and Israel to the northeast, the Gulf of Aqaba and the Red Sea to the east, Sudan to the south, and Libya to the west. Across the Gulf of Aqaba lies Jordan, across the Red Sea lies Saudi Arabia, and across the Mediterranean lie Greece, Turkey and Cyprus, although none share a land border with Egypt.
Egypt has one of the longest histories of any country, tracing its heritage back to the 6th–4th millennia BCE. Considered a cradle of civilisation, Ancient Egypt saw some of the earliest developments of writing, agriculture, urbanisation, organised religion and central government.[12] Iconic monuments such as the Giza Necropolis and its Great Sphinx, as well the ruins of Memphis, Thebes, Karnak, and the Valley of the Kings, reflect this legacy and remain a significant focus of scientific and popular interest. Egypt's long and rich cultural heritage is an integral part of its national identity, which has endured, and often assimilated, various foreign influences, including Greek, Persian, Roman, Arab, Ottoman Turkish, and Nubian. Egypt was an early and important centre of Christianity, but was largely Islamised in the seventh century and remains a predominantly Muslim country, albeit with a significant Christian minority.
From the 16th to the beginning of the 20th century, Egypt was ruled by foreign imperial powers: The Ottoman Empire and the British Empire. Modern Egypt dates back to 1922, when it gained nominal independence from the British Empire as a monarchy. However, British military occupation of Egypt continued, and many Egyptians believed that the monarchy was an instrument of British colonialism. Following the 1952 revolution, Egypt expelled British soldiers and bureaucrats and ended British occupation, nationalized the British-held Suez Canal, exiled King Farouk and his family, and declared itself a republic. In 1958 it merged with Syria to form the United Arab Republic, which dissolved in 1961. Throughout the second half of the 20th century, Egypt endured social and religious strife and political instability, fighting several armed conflicts with Israel in 1948, 1956, 1967 and 1973, and occupying the Gaza Strip intermittently until 1967. In 1978, Egypt signed the Camp David Accords, officially withdrawing from the Gaza Strip and recognising Israel. The country continues to face challenges, from political unrest, including the recent 2011 revolution and its aftermath, to terrorism and economic underdevelopment. Egypt's current government is a presidential republic headed by President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, which has been described by a number of watchdogs as authoritarian.
Islam is the official religion of Egypt and Arabic is its official language.[13] With over 95 million inhabitants, Egypt is the most populous country in North Africa, the Middle East, and the Arab world, the third-most populous in Africa (after Nigeria and Ethiopia), and the fifteenth-most populous in the world. The great majority of its people live near the banks of the Nile River, an area of about 40,000 square kilometres (15,000 sq mi), where the only arable land is found. The large regions of the Sahara desert, which constitute most of Egypt's territory, are sparsely inhabited. About half of Egypt's residents live in urban areas, with most spread across the densely populated centres of greater Cairo, Alexandria and other major cities in the Nile Delta.
The sovereign state of Egypt is a transcontinental country considered to be a regional power in North Africa, the Middle East and the Muslim world, and a middle power worldwide.[14] Egypt's economy is one of the largest and most diversified in the Middle East, and is projected to become one of the largest in the world in the 21st century. In 2016, Egypt overtook South Africa and became Africa's second largest economy (after Nigeria).[15][16] Egypt is a founding member of the United Nations, Non-Aligned Movement, Arab League, African Union, and Organisation of Islamic Cooperation.

Camping for one Day
Visiting a Bedouin Home to drink coffee, tea and eat bread inside of the tent in Jordan (بَدَوِي)
Visiting a Bedouin Home to drink coffee, tea and eat bread inside of the tent in Jordan (بَدَوِي,). So this morning we are doing something called the Bedouin experience which means we are visiting a village with a local Bedouin and he's just showing us around some of the things his family do. Like how they make coffee, how they take care of their goats. We're going to be showing you that. And we've been invited into this tent. Right here.

This is the Bedouin tent. This is the men's part. Bedouin tents are divided for two parts. One for the women and one for the men. So always when there is guests this will be separate. The women will go to women part and the men will come to the men part.
Do you want to smell? Oh yeah, that's good. This will give you energy. Ooooh! Wonderful. How does it smell Audrey? Like coffee!
Bang Bang Bang.
So when I serve it for you I will give you the cup in my right hand and if you have to hold it in your right hand. And you have to be sitting. I think all of you are sitting in the right way to have coffee. If you're lying down it's not respectful to have coffee, so you have to respect the meaning of the coffee and the host. We don't give the coffee for somebody lying down. We should be sitting up.
So the Bedouin are a nomadic people. This right here is their summer home and they're just in the process of moving to the winter home which is just over there.
The winter home is more protective as it has coverage from the wind, blocked by hills and mountains.
We've also been learning a little bit about Bedouin hospitality and apparently if a stranger wanders into your home it is common for you to offer them to stay for a maximum of three nights with no questions asked and after that they will either inquire 'why are you here? Where are you going? Or you are free to leave and go your way.
I have coal on my eyes. Does it look good? It does. Beautiful.
Just stop moving. That's so funny.
