| Abstract | ||
| Wadi Firan is 60 Km North West of St. Catherine Monastery. The Wadi 5 Km long and between 250-375m width, includes fresh water from many springs where the water collects in cisterns("). In Wadi Firan lies Mountain of Serbal 2070m above sea level. The name of Serbal derived from Serb Baal which means date palm. Idol Baal had been worshipped by the people who pilgrim to that holy Mountain before the Exodus. Some historians consider that Mountain is Mountain of Sinai. Because Wadi Firan is very narrow, the torrent of the heavy rain water destroyed most of the antiquities. Wadi Firan mentioned in Old Testament³) in name of Rafedeem). The original population in Firan was the Nabataeans and the Bedouins of Sinai | ||
