The Red Sea crossing point in Saudi Arabia, across from Nuwaiba Beach, attracts numerous visitors due to its historical and religious 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 witness the remnants of ancient structures and artifacts, providing a glimpse into the biblical events. Additionally, the beach itself offers stunning views of the Red Sea and its crystal-clear waters.

You will proceed to the valley if it is accessible; however, if it is restricted by NEOM, you will be directed to an alternative attraction. 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. Here you can also visit the well where it is believed that Moses took care of Jethro's daughters and helped them take out water for their sheep. Perhaps this is where he met his future wife, Sephora.

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 and Mount Horeb Sinai Graveyard You will see the camp where Moses and his people stayed, an altar made of rocks that were not chiseled, and the remaining of the 12 pillars Moses erected before climbing Mount Sinai. Drive further for a few kilometers and you can see an ancient graveyard, believed to be the one where 3000 people were burried after they were punished for worshiping the golden calf.

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. From this altar, you can climb up to what is believed to be Elijah's cave, a hike we only advise the fit ones to do. If you want to extent your trip by a day, you can choose to climb to the cave or even to one of the black peaks of Jebel Maqla.

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 Drop off at Tabuk Airport or your own hotel
