, 05:10, July 1, 2023→Evangelicals search for Mt. Sinai -- in Saudi Arabia
As far as where the mountain really is, the Bible doesn't give you much to go by. The Sinai peninsula is named after Mt. Sinai, so historically people have looked for it there. Josephus says it that Mt. Sinai is the highest mountain in Arabia Petræa. Exodus uses the phrase "mountain of God," which suggests that there was already a history of worship at this mountain before Moses. The traditional site near St. Catherine's monastery was identified in Byzantine times and there is no archaeology to support this identification. ''[https://www.biblicalarchaeology.org/daily/biblical-topics/exodus/searching-for-biblical-mt-sinai/ Biblical Archaeology Review]'' suggests Har Karkom, a paleolithic cult center in the Negev.

:I've seen one Wyatt video some time ago, and it was very convincing. The area is fenced off by the Saudi ruling regime, but he was able to gain access inside somehow.
:Fencing off the area should not be seen in a sinister light - it is being protected from graffiti artists, vandals, and souvenir hunters. Turning the area into a tourist trap is fraught with all sorts of religious and international questions, as well.
