Bible scholars have claimed there is evidence that suggests the peak Jabal al-Lawz in the Middle Eastern kingdom is actually Mount Sinai.
The site is a 8,460 foot peak known as the "mountain of almonds", located in north east Saudi Arabia near the border with Jordan.
Moses leads the Israelites to the mountain which is enveloped by fire, smoke and thunder, according to the Book of Exodus in the Bible.
The prophet then ascends Mount Sinai where he convenes with God to receive the Ten Commandments.
Experts from the Doubting Thomas Research Foundation have backed the location of Sinai, and also pointed out the fact it lies right in the footprint of proposed Saudi mega city Neom.
Neom is a project proposed by Riyadh that would cover 10,200 square miles - 33 times the size of New York - and would end up covering the suspected Holy site from the Bible.
Security analyst Ryan Mauro and the Doubting Thomas Research Foundation released a documentary with detailing their evidence of Sinai in Saudi Arabia.
It is claimed there is proof of the Israelites encampment at the foot of the mountain, which also has a blackened peak as if it was set on fire.
Historians and Biblical scholars remained divided on the location of the real Sinai in the Middle East.
However, the researchers and explorers fear its location could never be found if the Neom project bulldozes the area.
In the documentary titled Finding The Mountain of Moses: The Real Mount Sinai in Saudia Arabia, they lay out their case for Sinai and highlight the risk posed by Neom.
Mauro said: “The Saudis are constructing a super city that is planned to be 33 times the size of New York.
“If all of us don’t take action, Saudi construction in the...

Was there a stone monument that indicated the exact spot?
Not sure who drew your map, but they have the Gulf of Aqaba and the Gulf of Suez mislabeled.
I am ALL FOR the Saudi’s building a super city. Then we can send them all of the ‘refugees’ to live there. I’m sure Europe would like to send some of theirs as well.
If Saudi would put then all in that one city and contain them great.
That area is controlled by Egypt.
Hmm, according to you, then, Moses led the Hebrews through the Red Sea and then doubled back to reach your Mt. Sinai? That’s the only way it could happen because the Bible clearly states that the Israelites went on to Mt. Sinai in Midian AFTER crossing the Red Sea.
The Saudi site makes more sense than the traditional Mt. Sinai on the Sinai Peninsula. Seems like I read that they will not let Christian or Jewish scholars near the site.

What the......?
And the Saudi government/whoever thinks that it's a good idea to bulldoze this site for a "super city"; whether one believes it is Mount Sinai or not? It's really a pathetically stupid idea!
That’s a GREAT idea and the ONLY purpose such a dumb idea deserves to be turned into...for the good!
The new King wants a large, technically advanced, solar-powered, very wired, secular, self-governed, modern city, at the confluence of four regional states -- the KSA, Jordan, Egypt, and (though not mentioned) Israel. A lot of the land area will be covered with single- or 2-storey residential and other structures, hence the sprawl (33 times the area of NYC).
It would be nice if he could talk the Egyptians into it instead, building it in the Sinai peninsula. Ah well.
And just WHO is going to live there? The population of Saudi Arabia isn’t enough to fill a city that gigantic.
Saudi population is over 20 million (about 5 million are guest workers, who do most of the work in the country); the area looks excessive, but A) even with their declining birthrate, a place of that kind is bound to attract Arabs from neighboring areas, such as "Palestinians" from Jordan, Egypt, Gaza, Israel, and the other countries in the Middle East where they live; and B) a good bit of the area will be non-residential, iow, commercial, high tech manufacturing, and infrastructure (water desalination, photovoltaic arrays, power storage).
... or the water. Cities take lot of water. Lots & lots.
