It is said to be the oldest monastery in the world, a major tourist attraction, where it is intended for tourist groups from all over the world . The monastery was built on the orders of Empress Helen, mother of Emperor Constantine, but it was actually Emperor Justinian who built it between 545 AD to contain the remains of St. Catherine, who lived in Alexandria. It is still one of the most famous symbolic religious groups in the world.
