Day 2 : Elim

• Elim (Al-Bad) (Exodus 2:15-16)
  In the amazing biblical place called Elim, there were 12 streams and 70 palm trees - unique to this region. It is 3.7 miles away from Exodus landing point of Tayeb/ESM Valley.  Also in this Hejaz region is Jethro's town of Al-Bad. 1-2 miles to the south are The Caves of Jethro ("Magha'ir Shu'ayb"). Archaeologists hold that these caves are 1st century A.D. Nabatean tombs. ("Magi" in Matt. 2:1-2)
• Magna (Magna Tabuk: Elim, Exodu 15:27)- PalmsOasis/Moses’ Oasis (Exodus 15:27) Then they came to Elim, where there were 12 springs and 70 palm trees, and they camped there near the water.
  Magna (Also called Makna) is an area along the coast of Aqaba in Saudi Arabia, which is on the Red Sea coast to the southwest of al-Bad. Local tradition also holds that "Bir al Saidni" located in the nearby coastal town of Magna as the very well from which Moses rolled away the stone to draw water for the flocks of Jethro's daughters.
• Moses’ Well: (Exodus 2:15-16)
  This is the very well where Moses helped protect Jethro’s seven daughters from the local shepherds and drew water for their sheep. Here Moses also met Zippora, Jethro’s daughter whom he married. Although the town’s name is Al-Bad the local people simply call it "Jethro".

Day 3 : Split Rock & Mt. Sinai

• Split Rock (the rock at Rephidim, Exodus 17:6) Rephidim, the giant rock that split is located northwest of Jabal Maqla (Saudi name of Mt. Sinai). This split rock was discovered by Jim and Penny Caldwell in early 1990.
• Mt. Sinai (Jabel al Lawz/Jabal Maqla): (Exodus 19:17,18)
  Mount Sinai is the holy place where God came, the location that served as the most solemn scene of all. Here God chose to give His Ten Commandments to His people. God came down in the midst of fire, and the entire mountain was filled with smoke. The distinctively black top of Jabal Maqla has clearly been scorched. As you gaze at the scorched mountain top, it will be a precious moment to imagine how the Israelites felt as God trumpeted and spoke through the fire.
• Golden Calf Petroglyph (Exodus 32:21, Exodus 32:1–4)
  When the people saw that Moses was so long in coming down from the mountain, the Israelites pressured Aaron to create a golden calf. All the above-mentioned traces are found in close proximity to Mt. Jabal Maqla. The huge altar, where archeologists surmise the golden calf was placed, is prominent! On the stone of the altar are numerous petroglyphs, depicting cows, calves, and Israelites dancing in a festival.
• Graveyard (Exodus 32:28)
  3,000 or 23,000 Israelites were put to death as result of their idol worship and sexual immorality (see I Cor. 10:8). The dead could not be buried inside the camp but in the large public graveyard outside. Penny and Jim Caldwell discovered the ancient graveyard approximately 6 miles away from Jabal Maqla Base.
• The 12 Stone Altars In Front of Mt. Sinai (I Kings 18:31)
  These stones are considered to be the stone pillars built according to the twelve tribes of Israel. Each diameter is two feet. Nine out of these twelve still stand at the site. The remaining three have not been located. Scholars and explorers once wondered where this marble had come from. Eventually a large white marble quarry was discovered three miles west of the foot of Mose's Mountain. This quarry is over 1500 feet higher in elevation from where these pillars are found today.
• Accommodation in Tent
