Can you help me answer this question? What Egypt location is revered by Christians and Jews as the site of a sacred revelation? To most Muslims it is one of the holiest places in the world. Where is it?
There is a picture of symbols from 3 religions - a Christin cross, a Jewish star of David, and a Muslin crescent.

Thanks for your help! Mt. Sinai, St. Catherine's Monastery was the correct answer according to the person who challenged me to find the answer. Mount Sinai (Gebel Musa or Mountain of Moses in Arabic) is identified with the biblical Mount Horeb where Moses spent 40 days and received the tablets bearing the Ten Commandments. Mount Sinai is one of few places in the Quran specifically mentioned as a holy place. It is regarded as one of the four holiest sites by Sunni Muslims.

As I stated on your other thread Larkspur, the Monastery has nothing to do with the correct answer. It's Mt Sinai. Two totally different things.
