didn’t burn up. The Monastery is Orthodox and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The monastery dates back
to the age of the emperor Justinian 6th century. It was the same time of building enclosure wall
surrounding the monastery right now but the monastery was named Saint Catherine at the beginning of the
11th century in honor of saint Catherine, one of the earliest Alexandria Christians martyrs. It
