Midian (Madian in Arabic) is mentioned in the Bible over 60 times and in the Quran at least ten times. Known to many as the land where Moses fled from Egypt in Exodus 2:15-22, Midian/Madian was home to the priest Jethro, who is also called Reuel and is known by locals as Shu’ayb. Although the exact location of Jethro’s home is disputed, it was almost certainly in an area now called the Tabuk Province. Its northern border touches modern-day Jordan, and the Gulf of Aqaba graces the peninsula of its west coast. This area is rich with local traditions and site names that suppo ..read more

It is written on the rocks at Mount Sinai in Arabia. It is explained quite clearly in Scripture. The tablets were “the work of God and the writing was the writing of God.” You shall teach your children to read and to write and to do numbers. The “writing of God” is not only at Sinai but the alphabet is the constant companion of the Israelites from Egypt, Goshen, to Serabit el Khadim (in the Sinai Peninsula), to Mount Sinai in Midian, Arabia, to Mount Ebal in the Promised Land and elsewhere in Israel.
These are the alphabetic footprints of the Israelites thr ..read more

Venturing deep in the Hisma Desert of Saudi Arabia along with a trusty 4-wheeled drive and a good guide one will find an ancient Egyptian military-style camp surrounded by large boulders and rocky mounds. The rocks surrounding the camp are littered with petroglyphs and ancient Thamudic and Sabean inscriptions. Our Bible study tour with Living Passages took us through Saudi Arabia to study Midian and the sites of the Exodus routes that were just Northwest of Tayma and Khaybar. These areas were rich in ancient Jewish settlements.
