33 times the size of New York.
Have they lost their minds?
They would do this on purpose?
And the cost of bulldozing a mountain? Ridiculous.
Well if want to build a city that no one will live in (Unless ordered to!) that has no accompanying industry to support it its their money , their business.
Worked well for China! -— Ha!
That should really help their current balance of payments problem!
Hell yes they would, but even talk about removing the mosque where they worship their devil god on the temple mount and the entire western world would swoon with the vapors.
“33 times the size of New York”
They don’t even remotely have the population for that.
Caliphate
Must be a substantial water source nearby.
Mt. Sinai (Chorev in the Torah) is in...SINAI! Not Arabia, you camel jockeying dimwits.
NYC is relatively small in square miles, but vertically occupied to the nth degree.
Oh, yeah...Red Sea, desalinated.
FWIW....

author seems geographically challenged.
That’s debatable. There was a documentary about the site in SA and a comparison with what has been commercially sold as Mt Sinai on the peninsula. It was pretty convincing that the SA site was probably it. Look up the ‘Mountain of Fire’ documentary.
I’m sure the new city will contain lots of courtyards where supposedly adulterous women can be stoned to death. /sarc
The place is unrelated to the Biblical Mt. Sinai.
Three thousand years of Christian, Jewish and other local traditions were somehow wrong? Really?
Debunked years ago:

Moses met God before Sinai. Sinai is where he got the 10 commandments. That was a second date. The first date is where he was told to get the Jews out of Egypt.
That way every single muslem on the planet would have a safe and secure place to live and not be offended by any infidels.
With the History Channel as a sponsor, a Mt. Sinai theme park at Jebel al Lawz could still pack in a crowd. Naturally it would be important to mark off areas of "archaeological" significance (and there would still be plenty of archaeologists eager to prove this is the actual site of the burning bush).
