According to tradition, the monastery sits at the base of the mountain where Moses received the Tablets of the Law. Set in rugged country, it was for a very long time only accessible through a long camel-back journey across the barren desert.

One of the group’s members, Agnes Smith Lewis, an accomplished linguist, has been to the monastery once before. During that visit, she had spotted a "palimpsest of most venerable appearance."

Agnes lost her sight shortly after, but she wanted to have his work published, and as such, wrote "A Journey to Sinai" in braille. She passed away on the 22nd December 1900, in England.
