The foundational narrative of the Exodus in the Old Testament contains some of the most vital and momentous accounts in Christian history.

The quest to uncover the archeological and geological evidence of Israel's liberation from Egypt, mountain-top revelations, and ensuing desert wanderings have captured the hearts and minds of some of history’s most brilliant scholars and explorers.

Cartographers, archeologists, scientists, adventurers, historians and disciples of all backgrounds have sought out the genuine locations as depicted in the ancient scriptures.

Finally – with the advent of state-of-the-art technology and the ever-increasing political stability of the region – the Northwest corner of Arabia has begun to divulge its secrets.

Partake in exclusive access to historical sites in the land of Midian, while exploring recent findings and evidences with remarkable teachers.

Survey Midyan, known by locals to be the home land of Jethro (the prophet named Shu’ayb). Examine the Split Rock of Horeb at Jabal Maqla, and the Jabal al-Lawz mountain (also known as Jebel al-Lawz) - with its summit ascertained to be the real Mount Sinai descended upon by God.

ADVENTURE EXCURSION IN ARABIA
OVERNIGHT AT THE JABAL AL-LAWZ!

Looking to take a more adventurous route in the wilderness? Our Saudi Arabia Adventure Extensions offer an alternative path designed for more active tour participants!

Living Passages adventure excursion options highlight Moses’ time in the land of Midian and the Exodus crossing sites. Explore the real Mount Sinai by hiking and camping along the same route Moses may have taken.

Partake in classic fellowship and learning at the main sites throughout the tour but with extra activities added in as desired! If you enjoy an activity level that is different from your spouse or travel companion, you can select different activities. Choose the adventure that’s perfect for you! The overnight includes a special breakfast, dinner, and one climbing guide for 3-5 climbers (per guide).
