Mediene
is
famous
for
being
the
place
where
the
Prophet
Musa
took
refuge
after
fleeing
Egypt.
There
he
met
the
Prophet
Shuaib,
who
knew
in
Moses
a
pure
soul
and
gave
him
one
of
his
daughters.
Then
Moses
lived
for
ten
years
with
his
wife
and
father-in-law
in
Madian
before
returning
to
Egypt
to
liberate
its
people
from
Pharaoh
Ramses
II.
On
his
way
back,
his
people
crossed
the
Gulf
of
Aqaba
at
the
site
called
Tayeb,
which
is
also
called
Wadi
Musa.
The
first
collections
of
archaeological
materials
on
the
surface
by
explorers
and
scholars
showed
signs
of
the
long-time
occupation
of
heresy
by
remnants
of
the
main
inhabitants
who
ruled
in
the
Middle
East.
Coins
prove
that
the
city
was
also
active
during
the
Hellenistic,
Nabatean,
Roman
and
Islamic
periods.
It
seems
that
the
importance
of
the
city
of
Midian
declined
since
the
eleventh
century
BC,
but
it
was
never
abandoned
because
it
is
still
mentioned
under
the
rule
of
the
Umayyads,
the
Fatimids,
the
Mamluks
and
the
Ottomans.
