Mount Sinai is a high mountain 2,285 meters (7,497 feet) located near the city of Saint Catherine in the Sinai region. It is located next to Mount Saint Catherine (at 2,629 meters (8,625 feet), the highest peak in the Sinai Peninsula). It is surrounded by the high peaks of the mountain range.
geology
The rocks of the Sinai Mountains were developed in the later stages of the Arab-Nubian Shield (ANS). Mount Sinai is an intricate circular structure in which alkaline granite stones are buried in a variety of rocks, including igneous rocks. These granite stones are available in various structures ranging from cyanogranite to alkaline feldspar granite. Igneous rocks range from alkaline to highly alkaline and are recognized by surface flow, eruptions, and subglacial red rocks. In general, the nature of the rocks observed on Mount Sinai shows that they originated from different depths.

Mount Sinai is considered one of the most important holy sites of the Abrahamic religions.
According to Bedouin tradition, it is the same mountain on which God laid the rules for the children of Israel. However, early Christian traditions consider the event to have occurred near Mount Serpal and a monastery was established at its foothills in the 4th century; But after Josephus' initial claim in the 6th century that Mount Sinai was the highest mountain in the area, the monastery was moved to the slopes of Mount Catherine. Christians considered Mount Moses, near Mount Catherine, synonymous with Sinai after the fifteenth century.
Orthodox Christians settled on this mountain in the third century, and Georgians came to Sinai in the fifth century, despite the settlement of the Georgian colony in the ninth century. The Georgian people built their temples in this region. The construction of one of these temples was associated with a building named David who contributed to building temples in Georgia and abroad. There were political, cultural, and religious purposes to create a temple on Mount Sinai. The Georgian monks who lived there were deeply involved in their home country. The temple had properties of its own in Kartli [citation needed]. Some of the Georgian manuscripts of Sinai still exist, but the rest are in Tbilisi, Saint Petersburg, Prague, New York, and Paris, and in private collections.
Many contemporary Bible scholars now believe that the Israelites crossed the Sinai Peninsula in a straight line rather than circling around the southern tip (assuming they crossed the eastern branch of the Red Sea / Red Sea by boat or along the coastline would not have crossed) and thus could have He sees Mount Sinai somewhere.
The Song of Deborah, considered by literal scholars to be one of the oldest parts of the Bible, indicates that God lived on Mount Seir, while most scholars support a place in Nabatiyeh (modern Arabia). Alternatively, the biblical concept of Sinai can be interpreted as a description of a volcano, and thus few scholars regard Sinai similar to places in northwestern Saudi Arabia; Because there are no volcanoes in the Sinai Peninsula.
The Monastery of Saint Catherine is located on the Sinai Peninsula in the city of Saint Catherine, Egypt, at the foothills of the Sinai Mountains at the foot of an inaccessible valley. The monastery follows the Greek Orthodox viewpoint and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. According to the UNESCO report (60,100 hectares / reference 954) and the following website, this monastery is called the oldest working Christian monastery in the world - although the Monastery of Saint Anthony in the southern desert of Cairo, across the Red Sea, also claims this title.
For Muslims, the mountain is mentioned in Surah Al-Tin from the Qur’an, Surah 95
