Il Gebel Moussa (la montagna di Mosè) nel Sinai è ritenuto essere il Monte Horeb della Bibbia. In questo articolo dell'Egyptian Gazette una descrizione di quanto ci si può vedere:

On the path of Moses

The climb up Gebel Moussa - (the Mountain of Moses), believed to be the same as Mount Horeb, from the Bible - is an excursion not to be missed by any of those who go to tour

the site of Saint Catherine, in Sinai. The hike to the summit (2,286 metres, or 7,498 feet) requires about three hours' time, and be made by two different routes, which both converge along the final part of the hike. The first route - called Sikket Saydna Moussa, or "The Path of Moses" - is traditionally said to have been walked first by Moses when he climbed the mount; it consists of a long steep stairway cut directly into the living rock by the monks. This stairway has some thirty-seven hundred stairs, and begins in one of two ways: either with a track that climbs up parallel with the southern side of the monastery walls, or else with a track that splits off from the central wadi track, in a line with the two small stone buildings that one leaves behind on the left. After a climb of about thirty minutes, one passes the "Spring of Moses" which gurgles out into a small grotto and then runs past a chapel dedicated to the Virgin Mary. After passing this point, one next encounters the Gate of Confession - so called because there was once in ancient times a monk who heard confession here from pilgrims, in order that they might accede to the summit of the sacred mountain cleansed of their sins - and the Gate of Saint Stephen. This takes one - after climbing three thousand steps - to a handsome plain surrounded by granite mountains, known as the "Amphitheatre of the Seventy Wise Men of Israel," inasmuch as the Seventy Wise Men who accompanied Moses on his climb stopped here, because only the prophet himself could present himself to the presence of God (see Exodus 24, 1 -11). In this natural amphitheatre, shaded by great cypresses and by an olive tree, one finds a spring and the hermitage of Saint Stephen, while on a summit that lies southward, there are two chapels dedicated to Moses and the Prophet Elijah. From here, another track starts out, leading one to the summit of Ras Safsafa, after passing a number of chapels dedicated to Saint John the Baptist, Saint Ann, Saint Joachin, and the Virgin Mary. After climbing the northeast wall of the amphitheatre one reaches the intersection with the second route: this is the starting point of the last stairway (seven hundred steps), which leads to the summit of Gebel Moussa. Along this stairway, at roughly the halfway point, one can encounter an odd shape cut into the granite by the force of erosion. The shape is reminiscent of a camel's pawprint. The Bedouins call this Athar Nakat el-Nabi, which means "Pawprint of the She-Camel of the Prophet," although it is not certain which prophet is indicated by this oral tradition. On the summit of Gebel Moussa, another chapel dedicated to the Holy Trinity was built on the site where, according to tradition, God appeared in the form of a cloud of fire and spoke to Moses (see Exodus 24,15-18). From here the view is spectacular, especially in the dawning light, and one's gaze ranges over all the surrounding mountains and - on clear days - as far as the Gulf of Eilat. The chapel, rebuilt in 1934 on the ruins of an existing church from the fourth or fifth century, is decorated inside with frescoes illustrating the life of Moses. Alongside the chapel, slightly to the west, is a small mosque that was built in the twelfth century. Beneath this mosque is supposedly the cave where Moses spent forty days and where the Lord appeared to the prophet.The second route, which is longer but not as difficult, can accommodate camels for part of its length; it is called the Sikket el-Pasha, or “Route of the Pasha,” as it was built during the reign of the pasha Abbas I. The trail runs for about five hundred metres (1,640 feet) along the bed of the Wadi El-Deir, sandwiched between Gebel Moussa and Gebal Moneiga, then it rises, twisting, along the slopes of Gebel Moussa until it reaches a narrow passage that looms above the amphitheatre of the Seventy Wise Men of Israel, where it hooks up with the first road.Courtesy of “Guide to the Exploration of the Sinai,” an American University in Cairo Press publication.
