• Middle Paleolithic (>17,000 BCE) and Pre-Pottery Neolithic (B) (6,700-6,000 BCE) sites are located at the southern end of El Raha Plain. El Raha Plain is recognized as the traditional location where the Israelites encamped at the foot of Biblical Mount Horeb. Saint Catherine Monastery was constructed in 545 CE by the Byzantine Emperor Justinian I (527-565 CE). Mountain chapels and Byzantine monastic structures are scattered across the valley, including ruined buildings, hermit cells, prayer niches and rock inscriptions (4th-7th centuries CE). (Source: A.
