Saint Catherine سانت كاترين
Saint Catherine (also spelled: St. Katrine; Egyptian Arabic: سانت كاترين‎ pronounced is a city in the South Sinai Governorate. It is located at the outskirts of the El Tur Mountains at an elevation of 1,586 m (5,203 ft), 120 km (75 mi) away from Nuweiba, at the foot of Mount Sinai and Saint Catherine's Monastery. In 1994, its population was 4,603. Saint Catherine is a UNESCO world heritage site, officially declared in 2002.
lthough Saint Catherine was not established as a city at that time, it was always part of the Egyptian Empire throughout history and it was part of the province of "Deshret Reithu".
In the 16th century BC, the Egyptian pharaohs built the way of Shur across Sinai to Beersheba and on to Jerusalem. The region provided the Egyptian Empire with turquoise, gold and copper, and well preserved ruins of mines and temples are found not far from Saint Catherine at Serabit el-Khadim and Wadi Mukattab, the Valley of Inscription. They include temples from the 12th Dynasty, dedicated to Hathor, goddess of love, music and beauty, and from the New Kingdom dedicated to Sopdu, the god of the Eastern Desert.
مدينة سانت كاترين هي أكثر مدن سيناء خصوصية وتميزاً، فهي أعلى الأماكن المأهولة في سيناء حيث تقع على هضبة ترتفع 1600 متر فوق سطح البحر في قلب جنوب سيناء على بعد 300 كم من قناة السويس، وتبلغ مساحتها 5130 كم مربع، وتحيط بها مجموعة جبال هي الأعلى في سيناء وفي مصر كلها، وأعلاها قمة جبل كاترين وجبل موسى وجبل الصفصافة. وهبها هذا الارتفاع مناخاً متميزاً معتدل في الصيف شديد البرودة في الشتاء، مما يعطي لها جمالاً خاصاً عندما تكسو الثلوج قمم الجبال وأرض المدينة. أُعلِنَت المنطقة محمية طبيعية لما لها من أهمية طبيعية وتاريخية ودينية. يعمل معظم سكان المدينة بأعمال الزراعة والرعي والخدمات السياحية. وتشتهر المدينة بالسياحة الدينية وسياحة السفاري وتسلق الجبال، ويوجد بها دير سانت كاترين وجبل موسى ومقام النبي هارون وغيرها من الآثار الدينية، وتعتبر أكبر محمية طبيعية في جمهورية مصر العربية من حيث المساحة.
