Mount Sinai in Arabia & the Exodus Route to Petra Tour 2026 – Saudi Arabia & Jordan with Pastor Les Moore

Mount Sinai in Arabia
and the Exodus Route to Petra

Explore the Biblical lands of Saudi Arabia and Jordan with Pastor Les Moore

Join Pastor Les Moore on this legendary expedition to Northwest Saudi Arabia and the real Mount Sinai. With Saudi Arabia only recently allowing visitors to Mount Sinai (Jabal al-Lawz), you are in store for the expedition of a lifetime. The route will take you from the site of the miracle of the Red Sea crossing at Nuweiba, up through the campsites of the Hebrews, to the two significant altars that were built by Moses and Aaron at Mount Sinai, and you will be able to camp in its shadow. You will walk away with clear evidence of the greatest miracles of all time (outside of Creation itself!). You will travel the route of the Exodus from Northwest Arabia up into Petra, where the Hebrews spent 38 of their 40 years of wandering.  Petra—the rose-red, hidden city of the Nabataeans—is named after Nebaioth, one of Abraham’s descendants. In Arabia, know that you are one of the few early entrants to see this special, hidden place. You will spend time visiting the archaeological aspects of Midian – the Land of Jethro and his son-in-law, Moses. You’ll see the massive, Split Rock of Horeb, where Moses struck the boulder and God miraculously provided water from within the rock. You’ll personally survey Jabal al-Lawz (Mount Sinai), with its charred and blackened summit, ascertained to be the original Mount Sinai upon which Yahweh descended in fire. You’ll discover for yourself why Jewish and Bedouin traditions have continued for centuries to refer to this peak as “The Mountain of Moses.” You’ll also visit the stone altar under Elijah’s Cave, as well as the Golden Calf Altar, the small oasis of Elim, where the miracle of the quail took place, the Nuweiba Crossing site where Yahweh split the Red Sea, the cemetery of the 3,000 killed by the Levites at Aaron’s Altar, Moses’ Altar where the first covenant was given and so much more! During your time at the site of Jabal al-Lawz you will be camping for 3-nights in a fully supplied camp with mobile bathrooms, full tents with carpets, high-end cots, bedding, sumptuous meals and a raging fire each evening to enjoy fellowship together as you prepare for each day’s journey – deep into the Torah and God’s promises to then the Hebrews.  Your itinerary includes a night in a hotel on the first night and your last two nights in Saudi Arabia, so you can use full facilities and prepare for your camp stay, and then unwind a bit before coming out of the Wilderness of Sinai.

Pastor Les has thought of everything: all meals, all food and beverages, all tips, all accommodations, visas for Jordan, round-trip airfare from Boise, departure taxes, Bedouin guides to take you up to Mount Sinai, and your fully-rigged Land Cruisers, with your Saudi drivers. What an amazing adventure he has planned for you!  You will end your trip with a transfer back into Jordan, then a 2-hour drive to Petra and a tour through this mysterious, hidden city. Finally, you will be driven to the Ammonite city of Amman, where you rejoin Turkish Airlines for your flight back to Istanbul, ending in Seattle. (The flights have better connections to and from Eugene, Boise, and other NW cities when you originate at San Francisco and return via Seattle.)
