Between the red granite peaks of the Sini Peninsula, off-road vehicles drive towards Saint Catherines Monastery. At the entrance to the monastery, Hebrew signs indicate the code of conduct on the site. Nearby, workers draw water from a well and operate a tractor to build an airport. Tourists sing and clap their hands near the sacred place, and in the neighboring village, a local tradesman makes souvenirs for the visitors.
