Visit Saint Catherine's Monastery. The site is sacred to Christianity, Islam, and Judaism. A mosque was created by converting an existing chapel during the Fatimid Caliphate (909-1171). It remained in regular use until the era of the Mamluk Sultanate in the 13th century and is still used today on special occasions.
