Bains de Moïse (Oyun Musa)

Bains de Moïse (Oyun Musa — 'Moses' Springs') on the Sinai Peninsula's western coast, near the traditional site of the Israelites' crossing of the Red Sea in the Exodus narrative, are a cluster of oligomineral springs in a palm grove on the Gulf of Suez coastal plain that have been venerated since antiquity as the springs where Moses is said to have purified the bitter waters for the Israelites. The springs emerge in a landscape of immense religious significance for Jewish, Christian, and Islamic traditions, and the palm grove oasis — one of the Sinai's few natural tree-covered springs — retains a tranquil character that feels genuinely ancient amid the stark desert and sea landscape. Oyun Musa's mineral springs are used for bathing and drinking by Bedouin communities and visitors alike, maintaining a living tradition of geothermal resource use in one of the world's most historically resonant desert landscapes.
