Immediately north of the mountain is the 6th century Saint Catherine's Monastery.
The summit has a mosque that is still used by Muslims, and a Greek Orthodox chapel, constructed in 1934 on the ruins of a 16th-century church, that is not open to the public.
The chapel encloses the rock which is considered to be the source for the biblical Tablets of Stone.
At the summit also is "Moses' cave", where Moses was said to have waited to receive the Ten Commandments.
