+### S3Tables Catalog
+
+The S3Tables Catalog leverages the catalog functionalities of the Amazon 
S3Tables service and requires an existing S3 Tables Bucket to operate.
+
+To use Amazon S3Tables as your catalog, you can configure pyiceberg using one 
of the following methods. Additionally, refer to the [AWS 
documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-chap-configure.html)
 on configuring credentials to set up your AWS account credentials locally.
+
+If you intend to use the same credentials for both the S3Tables Catalog and S3 
FileIO, you can configure the [`client.*` 
properties](configuration.md#unified-aws-credentials) to streamline the process.
+
+Note that the S3Tables Catalog manages the underlying table locations 
internally, which makes it incompatible with S3-like storage systems such as 
MinIO. If you specify the `s3tables.endpoint`, ensure that the `s3.endpoint` is 
configured accordingly.
+
+```yaml
+catalog:
+  default:
+    type: s3tables
+    warehouse: arn:aws:s3tables:us-east-1:012345678901:bucket/pyiceberg-catalog
+```
+
+If you prefer to pass the credentials explicitly to the client instead of 
relying on environment variables,
+
+```yaml
+catalog:
+  default:
+    type: s3tables
+    s3tables.access-key-id: <ACCESS_KEY_ID>
+    s3tables.secret-access-key: <SECRET_ACCESS_KEY>
+    s3tables.session-token: <SESSION_TOKEN>
+    s3tables.region: <REGION_NAME>
+    s3tables.endpoint: http://localhost:9000
+    s3.endpoint: http://localhost:9000
+```
+
+<!-- prettier-ignore-start -->
+
+!!! Note "Client-specific Properties"
+    `s3tables.*` properties are for S3TablesCatalog only. If you want to use 
the same credentials for both S3TablesCatalog and S3 FileIO, you can set the 
`client.*` properties. See the [Unified AWS 
Credentials](configuration.md#unified-aws-credentials) section for more details.

+!!! warning "Removed Properties"
+    The properties `profile_name`, `region_name`, `aws_access_key_id`, 
`aws_secret_access_key`, and `aws_session_token` were deprecated and removed in 
0.8.0
+
+<!-- prettier-ignore-end -->
+
+An example usage of the S3Tables Catalog is shown below:
+
+```python
+from pyiceberg.catalog.s3tables import S3TablesCatalog
+import pyarrow as pa
+
+
+table_bucket_arn: str = "..."
+aws_region: str = "..."
+
+properties = {"s3tables.warehouse": table_bucket_arn, "s3tables.region": 
aws_region}
+catalog = S3TablesCatalog(name="s3tables_catalog", **properties)
+
+database_name = "prod"

Review Comment:
   If I'm not mistaken database and namespace are the same concept here, as in 
both provide a logical grouping of tables.`"orders"` would be the table in this 
case. The full identifier is `"prod.orders"`.
