It’s better than a location in Arabia, but still too far east. Here’s what I wrote about that:

Your paper seems to be arguing against Jebel Al-Lawz, while the author is promoting Jebel Hashem el-Tarif, which meets all of the Biblical criteria for Mount Sinai better than any of the other 14 candidates, particularly proximity to Middianite settlements that pointed others to the Saudi and Jordanian mountains locations, which do not meet the other criteria such as timelines. Jebel Hashem el-Tarif does.

Perhaps the author is a tad arrogant in his declaration of his hypothesis, but his argument is sounder than the others.

Anybody have a map to show us exactly where Jebel Hashem el-Tarif is, then, since we’re not having any luck with the Google links? I will find it a convincing candidate if it is close enough to the Suez Canal for a man traveling alone to reach it in three days.
