Mount Sinai

View from Mt. Sinai in early morning light.

Mount Sinai or Mount Moses or Mount Horeb, is a mountain in the Sinai Peninsula of Egypt that is the traditional and most accepted identification of the Biblical Mount Sinai. However, claims have been made by some writers who believe the true location of Mount Sinai is Jabal al-Lawz in Saudi Arabia.

According to Jewish, Christian and Islamic tradition, the biblical Mount Sinai was the place where Moses received the Ten Commandments.
