The wilderness peninsula where Israel wandered for 40 years
SinaiThe triangular peninsula between Egypt and Canaan, bounded by the Mediterranean to the north, the Gulf of Suez to the west, and the Gulf of Aqaba to the east. Israel spent 40 years wandering here after the Exodus because the first generation refused to trust God and enter the Promised Land. The region includes Mount Sinai where God gave the Law, as well as locations like Kadesh-Barnea and the wilderness of Zin.
