Where Is Midian Where Moses Fled?

Realizing that he would have to flee, he went to Midian (mainly in northwest Arabia).

What is the land of Midian called today?

Allah sent to them the prophet Shoaib, traditionally identified with the biblical Jethro. Today, the former territory of Midian is located in western Saudi Arabia, southern Jordan, southern Israel, and the Egyptian Sinai peninsula.
