Mount Sinai is of course very famous and is sacred to Jews, Christians and Muslims alike. Try going up the Steps of Repentance, which is a total of 3000 steps, and you will understand why its name is so apt. It is best to visit Mt Sinai during sunrise or sunset to enjoy the marvellous view after the climb.
