Wadi Tayyib Al Ism - Tabuk Province

Wadi Tayyib Al Ism is one of the many natural wonders of Tabuk, Saudi Arabia. Nestled in the middle of the mountains, this valley is located in the Tabuk province, on the Gulf of Aqaba. It is also known as the ‘Valley of Moses’ because it is where he spent ten years in voluntary exile after fleeing from Egypt.

Landscape

One of the unique features of this valley is that it has the best of both worlds as it consists of mountains as well as the sea with the beachside road. The Red Sea near Maqna is a popular scuba diving site because of its pristine coral reefs. People who want to spend a day at the beachside can go and sit in the white sand and enjoy the turquoise waves while admiring the giant rocks that surround the valley. 

Trip to the Wadi

If you’re visiting the valley, you should get a permit and a tour guide, both of which you will find in Sharma town. There are no facilities or shops in Wadi, which is why you should take food and drinks along with you. It is also important to check if the valley is open for visitors in order to avoid any inconvenience. Walking among these sandy hills, water springs, and rock formations is truly an experience of a lifetime that you do not want to miss.
