Mount Sinai

Jabal al-Lawz is a mountain in northwest Saudi Arabia theorized to be the real Mount Sinai. It is known for it's charred blackened peak, with proximity to the Red Sea crossing site and the Split Rock of Moses, providing overwhelming Biblical evidence surrounding it.

Split Rock of Moses

 The Split Rock of Horeb is a massive stone found near the Jabal al-Lawz mountain (Mount Sinai) and is theorized to be the rock Moses struck from which water flowed out for the thirsty and tired Israelite people. This split rock is located in the valley of Rephidim, where the Israelites encamped and is a marvelous wonder to see in real life.

Red Sea Crossing

The Nuweiba Crossing is believed to be where the Israelites crossed from Egypt into Saudi Arabia after God parted the water for Moses and His people, one of the greatest miracles recorded in the Bible. With its proximity to the Real Mount Sinai in Saudi Arabia, the Sea of Aqaba is a very plausible site.

Ancient Serabit el-Khadim

In the Northwest of Sinai’s sea coast, you will see very compelling Asiatic (Hebrew) stela features of nobles and soldiers who have the tell-tale mushroom hairstyles of the early Israelites. Located at a turquoise mine site, Serabit el-Khadim, owned by the Pharoah of Joseph’s time, the context suggests that Asiatics were involved in mining expeditions.

Land of Midian & Jethro

The land of Midian is located in Saudi Arabia, where Moses fled after killing an Egyptian. He was taken in by Jethro, a Midianite high priest. He gave Moses his daughter, Zipporah, in marriage. Within Al-Bad', a small town in north-west Saudi Arabia, lies the famous Caves of Jethro, where he resided.

Lawrence of Arabia House – Saudi Arabia Christian Tour

Historic Port City of Yanbu

Yanbu is a part of the Saudi Hejaz, located on the beautiful Red Sea. A great starting/ending point for exploration of the depth of Saudi! An adventure through this historic port city would not be complete without a visit to the home of Lawrence of Arabia! We will stop at the famous Hejaz Railway stations, made famous in the epic story.

Tabuk Province Saudi Arabia

Oasis of "Tema"

Tayma is a northwestern Arabian destination located between Medina and Tabuk in the area of ancient Edom. It is famous for the Oasis of Tayma and is mentioned several times in the Bible (referenced as "Tema" by Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Job).

Oasis of Elim

The Israelites second stop after crossing the Red Sea was Elim, a place described as an oasis with 70 palm trees and 12 wells in the book of Exodus. Today, a similar oasis exists not far from the proposed Red Sea crossing sites. This lush spot in the middle of the stark desert matches up perfectly to the Biblical description.

Honoring Our Hosts in Saudi Arabia

Living Passages is committed to the safety of our travelers.
To do this we strive to follow all guidelines and requests of both our hosts and the government.

There has been a history of Western travelers who have gone to these historic sites without proper approvals. In doing so they endanger the safety of those traveling with them by illegally visiting areas where signs have been posted and fences are up. The Saudi government has protected certain sites and we respect their authority.

Petra in Jordan is a Perfect Add-on to the Exodus of Arabia

Petra is a fascinating relic of biblical history, characterized by its worn staircases, numerous empty tombs, and altars embellished with ancient depictions of kings, including Nabonidus from 556 BC.

Jordan is rich in biblical wonders! Join Living Passages on a Saudi Arabia tour that adds these awe-inspiring sites.

Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “Take the rod; you and your brother Aaron gather the congregation together. Speak to the rock before their eyes, and it will yield its water; thus you shall bring water for them out of the rock, and give drink to the congregation and their animals.” So Moses took the rod from before the Lord as He commanded him. And Moses and Aaron gathered the assembly together before the rock; and he said to them, “Hear now, you rebels! Must we bring water for you out of this rock?” Then Moses lifted his hand and struck the rock twice with his rod; and water came out abundantly, and the congregation and their animals drank. Then the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, “Because you did not believe Me, to hallow Me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this assembly into the land which I have given them.” This was the water of Meribah, because the children of Israel contended with the Lord, and He was hallowed among them. Numbers 20:7-13
