Wadi Mukattab

The Wadi Mukattab (Arabic for "Valley of Writing"), also known as the Valley of Inscriptions, is a wadi on Egypt's Sinai Peninsula near St Catherine's Monastery.

It links the main road in the Wadi Feiran with the Wadi Maghareh's ancient turquoise mining area.

[1] The wadi is named after its valley's many petroglyphs.

Nabataean [2] and Greek [3] inscriptions are abundant.
