"World Heritage Watch has sent an Open Letter to UNESCO calling on the World Heritage Committee (WHC) to place the Saint Catherine Area on the List of World Heritage Sites in Danger. This call stems from ongoing massive tourism developments that threaten one of the world’s most important religious and cultural places, and the continued failure of the Egyptian Government to uphold its commitments to the World Heritage Convention. The group has published extensive reports about the developments, supported by photographic documentation, and accuses Egypt to turn the sacred landscape into a tourism hub."
