  We believe some of the most fascinating sites in biblical history to be in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, including Mount Sinai, where Moses heard from God. Today, the area deep in the northwest corner of the Saudi desert is more populated by camels than people, but if Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has his way, this area rich in biblical history could soon to be lost to a major development project. The heir to the Saudi throne recently announced the region as the site of his new $500 billion megacity, which might one day house up to nine million people and re-think everything about how people live, work, and play. They touted the project as the most modern, forward-thinking and climate-friendly city in the world, but few people are aware of the deep biblical history of the area.
