  Very dissapointed! We came the whole way from Jeddah to see this site and there was nobody during the opening time (Saturday 4pm-6pm). We waited for an hour together with another 5 cars and unfortunately we had to leave.
  This is not good for Saudi tourism business!! If there is a reason for closure, please update your opening time and put there a sign that it is closed.

  Some people think that Jethro's family lived in the caves. But I think this rocky caves were used for rich people's tombs. If you read Bible you can realize that rich people bought rocky cave to bury corpse at that time. In Jethro's caves, there are various size of pits including pits suitable for small corpse.
  A local man said that there is Jethro's garden just across the road in front of the caves. The large garden is now full of trees with fenced wall. Maybe Jethro's family lived there. And the garden is not far from Moses Well.

  There are 2 significant historical places in Midyan. 1. Maghyar Shuaib (AS) - this is said to be place where Shuaib (AS) and his nation lived. There are homes carved in to mountains which are still visible. Do read up or listen to the story of Shuaib (AS) and his nation for further background information.
  
  2. The Well of Musa (AS) - Allah knows best, but, there is a well which is said to be the well of Musa (AS). Some say that the famous incident mentioned in the Holy Quran where Musa (AS) helped 2 women take water from the well took place here. Allah knows best.

  This is actually called Mada’in Shuhaib, the place where prophet Shuhaib Alayhissalam and his followers lived. The place is well preserved and the visiting time on the weekend is 4-9 pm. It’s worth visiting.

  مدین
  Its the city of Prophet Shoaib AS who had lived here. He is believed to be Ibrahim's great-grandson. He was sent as a prophet to the Midianites to warn them to end their fraudulent ways.
  The people were dishonest and were said to be especially notorious for cheating others through dishonest weights and measures.
  Hazeat Shoaib warned them against such actions but they did not listen, did not repent, so Allah ST destroyed them. 
  There is Shoaib's well towards East of this place about a km. Hazrat Musa AS happened to come there. He married to the daughter of Shoaib AS and stayed in Madein for forty years before moving to Egypt.

  Prophet Shoaib عليه السلام
  used to live in this city which famous in history by the name of Madyan. Must visit this place. Prophet Mosa (عليه السلام) "Moses" also lived here and was married to daughter of Prophet Shoaib (عليه السلام) in this city.
  There is a mountain named as Jabal Al Laowz (جبل اللوز) which is believed to be the actual mount Sinai by some historians.
