Hisma Desert and Sacred Jebel Al Lawz Tour

Journey through the Hisma Desert and Sacred Jabal Al Lawz to the Hisma desert in Tabuk, about an hour and a half, offers a wide variety of scenery and enjoys a rich traditional heritage. Its mountains extend to the Wadi Rum in Jordan. Its most famous mountains are Bajdah, Al Zeitah, Alqan and Al-Lowz. The eye-catching Hisma desert, which was once inhabited by the Nabataeans, constituted a route for caravans of pilgrims and merchants.

Then visit Jebel Al Lawz, which means “Almond Mountain” in Arabic. Measuring 2,549 meters, it’s the tallest mountain in the Tabuk Province and the only place in Saudi Arabia where it snows almost every year, making it perfect for a winter hike. According to many scholars, historians, and the Jebel Al Lawz documentary, the mountain is of utmost religious significance. Prophet Moses had his legendary experience with God on the holy Mount Sinai. The potential location and the physical features of Jebel Al Lawz resemble those of Mount Sinai.
