Description

Embark on a captivating journey through history with our Jabal Al Lawz Day Tour, an immersive experience that unveils the secrets of this historic majestic mountain and witness extraordinary landmarks that resonate with biblical significance. Prepare to be mesmerized by the enigmatic Split Rock of Moses, the sacred 12 Stone and the Mose’s Altars, the intriguing Petroglyph of the Golden Calf, and the legendary Split Rock of Moses at Horeb. Explore the Sacred Sites at Jabal Al Lawz * 09:00 am Meet the guide/driver at the hotel lobby in Tabuk and proceed to Jabal Al Lawz. * Arrive at the site by 11:00. Visit the first stop: Jabel al Lawz/Jabal Maqla. Jabal Al-Lawz, known in Arabic as the 'The Almond Mountain', is the most majestic and the highest mountain in Saudi Arabia. You may find thousands of years old inscriptions, meet locals tending their herds, and see the beautiful but reclusive Arabian ibex if you are fortunate. Jabal Al-Lawz receives winter snowfalls, turning the raw and majestic landscape into a spectacular winter wonderland. In winter, head for Jabal Al-Lawz and enjoy the cooler breezes that wind through the peaks of the surrounding ranges and if you time it just right, enjoy a day of snow and winter fun. * Go to the Golden Calf Petroglyph. When the people saw that Moses was so long to come down from the mountain, the Israelites made Aaron an image of a golden calf. Surprisingly, all the above-mentioned traces are found close to Mt. Jabal Maqla. The huge altar, where supposedly the image of the golden calf was placed, cannot be missed. And on the altar's stone are numerous petroglyphs, including the one depicting the people holding a festival and dancing. * Make a stop for lunch at 13:00. Then head to the Graveyard. * See the 12-stone altars in front of Jabal Lawz Mountain and proceed to Split Rock Mountain. Examine the Split Rock. The giant rock split is located in the Northwest of Horeb at Jabal Maqla, where Moses struck the rock, and God miraculously provided water from within. * Drive back to Tabuk at 17:00 and arrive in Tabuk by 19:30. * Drop off at the hotel in Tabuk.
