Moses Mountain (height 2285 m) has other names – Sinai and Horeb. According to the Hebrew legend, these are two different mountains, two places where God descended to earth. Oreb - the mountain of the Sun, Sinai - the mountain of the Moon. According to the Bible, on Mount Sinai, God gave Moses the 10 commandments carved on a stone tablet.
The pilgrimage to the mountain began in ancient times and continues to this day. It is believed that those who climb the mountain will be forgiven 7 times.
