There are several sites around the Middle East that claim to be "Mount Horeb" or “Mount Sinai” but no location has as much amazing evidence to back up such claims as Jebal Maqla and it's suroundings in Saudi Arabia.
We will take you to the heritage sites around Tabuk and the Red Sea, tell you what the local bedouins believe about these sites as well as the conclusions we've reached so far based on the ongoing research we and others have performed in the region.

Haql
The Red Sea crossing point in Saudi Arabia, across from Nuwaiba Beach, attracts numerous visitors due to its historical significance. We believe that this is the area where Moses and the Israelites crossed the Red Sea during the Exodus. Visitors can explore the site and get a glimpse into the biblical events. Additionally, the beach itself offers stunning views of the Red Sea and its crystal-clear waters.
Wadi Tayyib Al Ism
The Elim Oasis where Moses and his people camped after leaving Mara, is located in the Wady Tayyb Ism valley in Saudi Arabia. This place is a breathtaking natural paradise surrounded by towering rock formations with several wells the government has preserved for the local bedouins to water their animals. The oasis and the valley further into the canyon are known for their lush greenery, clear blue water pools, and an abundance of date palm trees. It offers a serene and tranquil atmosphere, making it an ideal destination for relaxation and exploration in the heart of the desert.

Jethro's Tombs is a place similar to Petra in Jordan or Mada'ain Saleh in Saudi Arabia. It is believed that one of the caves is Jethro's tomb, who was the father-in-law of Moses. In the same town of Al Bad', or Madyan as locals call it, you can also visit the well where it is believed that Moses took care of Jethro's daughters and helped her take out water for her sheep. Perhaps this is where he met his future wife, Sephora.
Visit and climb up to The Split Rock of Horeb, in the Rephidum area. The story says God told Moses to strike a rock and water will come out of it to quench the thirst of the people. Just a few minutes drive further, you can witness ancient petroglyphs carved on black stones on top of a hill. Perhaps this is the hill on which Moses stood with his hands up while Joshua went to fight the Amalekites in the valley.
Search of ancient landmarks or climb to the summit

If you are not flying out today, you can book your hotel or extend your journey to climb/visit places like Al Ula.

Jabal Al-lawz
Visit Al Lawz Mountain area with its peaks, Al Lawz and Maqla. This mountain range is believed to be referred to in the Exodus Story as the old Mount Sinai or Mount Horeb. You will see the camp where Moses and his people stayed, an altar made of rocks that were not chiseled and the remaining columns of the 12 pillars Moses erected before one of his climbs to the summit. Just a few minutes away, you will witness a pile of giant stones arranged as if they were purposely placed there, with many drawings carved on them depicting bulls, people, and other animals. We believe this could be the altar that Aaron built in front of the Godel Calf as mentioned in the story. Drive further for a few kilometers and you can see an ancient graveyard, believed to be the one where 3000 people were buried after they were punished for worshiping the golden calf.
Jabal Al-lawz
At the bottom of the mountain, you will be able to see the Golden Calf Altar on top of which was once erected a Golden Calf (later this was burned to ashes) and then drive to a nearby site to see a second altar with stone pillars (only a few pieces are left of the initial 12 marble pillars) which Moses build before climbing up the mountain to receive the instructions to build the Tabernacle.
Jabal Al-lawz
If you want to extend your journey by half a day (choose to camp at the foot of the mountain or return to Tabuk for the night), you can climb up to what is believed to be Elijah's cave, a climb we only advise the fit ones to do, but nonetheless, a climb that will forever change your perspective on the story of the Exodus and Elijahs. Contact us and we will arrange it for you.
Jabal Al-lawz
If you want to extend your journey by another day (choose to camp at the foot of the mountain or return to Tabuk for the night), you can climb up to one of the peaks of Jebel Maqla, again a climb we only advise the fit ones to do, but likely the climb of your lifetime. Contact us and we will arrange it for you.

5.00What a blessing and rich experience to spend those days with Gabriel of Desert Paths in Tabuk and to walk and climb where Moses and the elders followed God’s voice in such obedience!!! Gabriel is an excellent Bible expositor and practices such great hospitality with patience and humility!
Amazing trip!

5.00I can't say enough good things about Desert Paths. Such an incredible trip!! The attention to detail, the chance to be emersed in the culture as well as the sites and history. I highly recommend Desert Paths to everyone. This was an experience of a lifetime.

5.00The Desert Paths Exodus tour was amazing. The guides were extremely friendly and knowledgeable (and don't even get me started on the food, it was incredible). If you want to experience KSA and walk through the steps of history, Desert Paths is the way to go! The duration was perfect, although, if you are planning on summitting Jabal al-Lawz please understand that it is a very strenuous hike. Gabriel and the rest of the guides were very gentle and led at an appropriate pace, but you are hiking at elevations of 5,000+ft so it can be a challenge.

5.00I still think about my Desert Paths tour through Midian, led by Gabriel and assisted by Abdulaziz. Amazing landscapes that align with the Biblical account of Moses and the Israelites. Climbing Mount Sinai was unforgettable. The food was delicious and camping accommodations were cozy. Gabriel has exceptional knowledge of this seldom-visited area of KSA, and his passion for the area and genuine care for his guests was evident from start to finish on this tour.
An unforgettable experience

5.00I had waited more than 17 years to finally visit Saudi Arabia. It all began when I went to Mt Sinai in Egypt - and a fellow traveler mentioned another mountain in Saudi Arabia as being the real Mt Sinai. I was intrigued - however at that time, the area was inaccessible. Once I heard that Saudi had opened up to tourists, I knew I had to make the journey there pronto! I selected Desert Paths after examining many other tour companies. Desert Paths were not only affordable, they were immensely helpful, transparent and patiently answered my myriad of questions before even booking. The places we saw were amazing; our tour guide Gabriel and his assistant looked after us so well and ensured we all were satisfied with each site by giving us time to explore and abundant information on the region as well as background knowledge of the sites to enrich our experience. The vehicles used were comfortable and our accommodation was great. When my husband became sick, both guide and assistant immediately acted and assisted us with their kind support until he fully recovered - I could not thank them enough. Saudi Arabia exceeded my expectations and still lingers with me. The landscape we saw was breathtaking... it was a long-awaited experience that I will never forget.
