Mount Serbal and Lake Serbonis in Egypt
Mountain 2,070 meters high, and still has the name SERBAL, with which are connected early Christian communities, and traces of the monastery from 4th century AD... It is located in a part of the national park. (South Sinai)
Mount Serbal is located in Saint Catherine city in the south Sinai, sometimes known as Gebel Serbal in texts. At 2070 meters, it is the fifth highest mountain in Egypt. Serbal is part of St. Catherine National Park. Some believe that Serbal is the biblical Mount Sinai.

Lake Serbonis, which is mentioned by Herodotus and Diodorus of Sicily. Herodotus informs us that this lake was located in the lower Egypt, where he constituted the natural border between Egypt and Syria, and that it was so old that even Zeus threw into it a mythical monster Typhon.
