The Holy Chair of the Prophet Moses
* The holy chair mentioned here is outlined by the white circle, as appears in the photo in the front.
Near the sacred valley of Towa, and in one of the most beautiful cities of the Arab Republic of Egypt and the whole world, the city of magic, imagination, and all religions, the city of St. Catherine, there is a beautiful and attractive rock outcrop, and its rock type is granite. Specifically, G3-granite, which is a type of granite (the geochemical classification of granitic rocks), is characterized by its red color, as appears in this exposure photo.
All citizens of this holy area of this outcrop think it is the source of holiness.
I took this very awesome photo on the sidelines of the field and camping trip to the aforementioned city of Egypt.
