Detailed itinerary

Examine the Split Rock the giant rock splitted, is located in the Northwest of Horeb at Jabal Maqla, where Moses strike the rock and God miraculously provided water from within. In a desolate region with no water, this rock stands out as a possible reminder of the miracles of God in the exodus journey. Climb the hill. Make your way through the split and see the wind and water erosion marks around the base of the giant boulder.

Visit the Moses well at Maqna where it is believed that Moses took care of Jethro's (Prophet Shuaib) daughters and helped them take out water for their sheep and this is the first place where Mose's (Musa) met Zippora, Jethro’s daughter in this place and after married with her.

Midian (Al bad) is the land where Moses spent 10 years in voluntary exile before returning and freeing his people from Pharaoh Ramses II.) And the homeland of Jethro (Prophet Shuaib who was Mose's Father in Law. The Mugha’yer Shuaib seems to appear from nowhere in the reddish desert west of Tabuk . Moses (as) lived here a decade under the patronage of the Prophet Shuaib, who had been impressed by Moses’ chivalry and offered his daughter’s hand in marriage. Moses eventually returned to Egypt, but it’s easy to imagine that this beautiful place stayed with him.

• Begin your historical journey at Jabal Al Lawz, the highest peak in the Tabuk region. Explore ancient inscriptions and rock art depicting bovines. Some believe this mountain to be Mount Sinai, where Prophet Moses (PBUH) encountered God.
• Visit the Golden Calf Petroglyphs, a fascinating piece of ancient art that tells a story of worship and symbolism. Delve into the significance of this petroglyph as you appreciate the craftsmanship and historical importance it holds.
• Explore the 12 Stones of Moses, situated near Jabal Al Lawz, offering a glimpse into ancient ceremonies and spiritual significance.
