Once inside, enjoy a comfortable ride through breathtaking desert landscapes, where you’ll see rugged mountains and golden sand dunes stretching into the distance.
Visit to the Ancient Land of Midian – Bidaa Valley
Our first major stop is Bidaa Valley, a historic site linked to the ancient Midianite civilization. This area is believed to have been home to Prophet Moses during his exile, making it one of Saudi Arabia’s most fascinating archaeological locations.
Walk among the rock-carved tombs, ancient wells, and mysterious stone structures that tell the story of a lost civilization.

Next, we visit Tayyib Al-Ism, a breathtaking canyon surrounded by towering cliffs. Also known as the “Valley of Moses,” this place is believed to be where Moses crossed after leaving Egypt.
The combination of deep gorges, lush palm groves, and flowing fresh water makes it one of the most beautiful natural sites in Saudi Arabia. You’ll have time to explore the canyon, take photos, and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.
Traditional Saudi Lunch by the Red Sea
After exploring, we take a break at a local restaurant near the coast, where you’ll enjoy an authentic Saudi lunch with traditional dishes such as Mandi (spiced rice with meat) and fresh seafood.
This is also a great time to relax and take in the stunning views of the Red Sea.
Discovering Magnificent Coastal Views
After lunch, we continue our journey along the Red Sea coast, stopping at scenic viewpoints where you can admire the crystal-clear waters, towering mountains, and untouched beaches.
This region offers some of the most spectacular coastal landscapes in Saudi Arabia, perfect for photography and relaxation.
Return to Aqaba
In the afternoon, we begin our journey back toward the Saudi-Jordan border. After completing the border crossing, we drop you off at your hotel in Aqaba, bringing your adventure to an end.
