DAY 2: TABUK – HISMA – NEOM (157 KM) (B)
Breakfast at the hotel. If you have opted for a 4x4 car, today we suggest to visit a place called Hisma, which is also known as the Wadi Rum of Saudi Arabia because of its majestic grandiose formations similar to those found on the other side of the border with Jordan. Hisma is home to hundreds of ancient rock art and inscriptions, some in pre-Islamic scripts dating back to the caravan trade, and some in old Arabic dating back to the first decades of Islam.
In the afternoon you can drive up one of the highest mountains in Saudi Arabia, the Jebel Al Lawz, the mountain of almonds. People believe that this is the true site of the biblical Mount Sinai where Moses received the Tablets of Law. You can visit some sites that have features reminding the story of Moses. At the end of the day you will head back to your hotel. Overnight in Tabuk.
DAY 2: NEOM (4x4) (B)
Breakfast at the hotel. Today we suggest discovering the area of construction of a futuristic city called Neom that is being ongoing. Its name stands for “New Future” (“Neo” for “New” and “Mustaqbal” which means “Future” in Arabic) highlighting the uniqueness of the vision of this project.
The area of Neom corresponds to the west shore of the Tabuk Province that we will explore today, starting with the archaeological site of Madyan, an ancient city quoted in both the Quran and the Bible. This place was occupied among other by the Nabateans who built some monumental tombs known by locals as the “caves of the Prophet Shuayb” (Mughayr Shuayb).
From there we will travel on the footsteps of the Prophet Moses as his story told in both the Quran and Bible says that he lived in Madyan for 10 years. You will visit the Wells of Moses and the impressive Valley of Moses (also known as Tayeb Ism), all these places offering a wonderful sight on the Sinai Mountain on the other side of the Gulf of Aqaba.
At the end of the afternoon you will drive back for your departure. You can return the car in the airport of TABUK, go to the car rental RETURN parking, handover your car to the BUDGET team, and direct yourself to the departure area.
