Location of Mt. Sinai

 

Scripture does not give clear indication of the location of Mt. Sinai and for that reason, scholars differ widely over where it is to be located. The traditional location, Jebel Musa, is in southern Sinai, but some believe that this is too distant from the Nile Delta for the Israelites to have traveled in the time described in Scripture (preferring a location in northern or central Sinai). Others believe that Mt. Sinai was on the other side of the Gulf of Aqaba in what is Saudi Arabia today.
