What's the itinerary?+
• Inspect the Split Rock, located in the Northwest of Horeb at Jabal Maqla, where it is believed that Moses struck the rock, and water was miraculously provided. This rock, found in a barren area without water, may serve as a reminder of God's miracles during the exodus. Ascend the hill, navigate through the split, and observe the erosion marks from wind and water around the base of the massive boulder. • Go to the Moses Well at Maqna, thought to be the site where Moses assisted Jethro's (Prophet Shuaib) daughters with watering their sheep and where Moses first met Zippora, Jethro’s daughter, whom he later married. • Midian (Al Bad) is the region where Moses spent a decade in voluntary exile before leading his people out from under Pharaoh Ramses II. It is the homeland of Jethro (Prophet Shuaib), Moses’ father-in-law. The Mugha’yer Shuaib emerges unexpectedly from the reddish desert west of Tabuk. Moses lived here for ten years under the guidance of Prophet Shuaib, who was moved by Moses’ integrity and offered him his daughter's hand in marriage. While Moses eventually returned to Egypt, it is likely that this scenic area remained in his memory. • Start your historical exploration at Jabal Al Lawz, the highest peak in the Tabuk region. Investigate ancient inscriptions and rock art featuring bovines. Some believe this mountain could be Mount Sinai, where Prophet Moses (PBUH) had his encounter with God. • Examine the Golden Calf Petroglyphs, an intriguing ancient artwork that depicts themes of worship and symbolism. Consider the significance of this petroglyph while acknowledging its craftsmanship and historical relevance. • Investigate the 12 Stones of Moses, located near Jabal Al Lawz, providing insights into ancient rituals and their spiritual importance.
