Finally! A video tour of my first hike up the real Mount Sinai (April 30, 2016 - NOT 2018 as the video intro says haha) in NW Saudi Arabia (ancient land of Midian). It was a dream come true for me and my friends. After years of dreaming about going to NW Arabia to the real Mount Sinai at Jabal Maqla in the Jabal al Lawz range, it finally happened. God is good! On the very last day of our trip after a number of our group had left 4 of us climbed to the top of the summit of the southern peaks/ridge of Jabal Maqla. At around 7400+ feet (2256 meters) high this ridge is believed to be part of the Mountain of God that Moses climbed where God gave His Ten Commandments on two tablets of stone. What a spectacular view we had from the top overlooking the land of Midian and down over the plain where the Israelites would have encamped on the eastern side.

"The Lord said to Moses, “Come up to me on the mountain and wait there, that I may give you the tablets of stone, with the law and the commandment, which I have written for their instruction.”" - Exodus 24:12

"And he gave to Moses, when he had finished speaking with him on Mount Sinai, the two tablets of the testimony, tablets of stone, written with the finger of God." - Exodus 31:18

"The Lord said to Moses, “Cut for yourself two tablets of stone like the first, and I will write on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke... So Moses cut two tablets of stone like the first. And he rose early in the morning and went up on Mount Sinai, as the Lord had commanded him, and took in his hand two tablets of stone." - Exodus 34:1,4
