Detailed itinerary

Moses and his people camped in an area that had no water.
Due to the people's desperation, which came from the fear of dying of thirst, Moses believed that the wrath of the people would result in him being killed.
The deliverance of Moses and his people came about by an incredible miracle that occurred at a place called Rephidim.
Moses struck this Rock of Horeb, the rock split, and this produced such large volumes of water that what ensued was described as "rivers in the desert".
Seeing this actual miracle up close is a must on any visitor's journey into Saudi Arabia.
ehold the amazing split Rock of Horeb, a highlight of our tour! Discovered by Jim and Penny Caldwell back in the 1990s. Scramble around this geological wonder
