I had driven past this place many time on my way to and from Abu Radies. It is also on the tourist route to Sharm El-Sheik where many go to holiday on the Red Sea at the bottom of the Gulf of Suez. The tourists busses would travel in convoy with armed guards. The Wells of Moses, also known as Uyun Musa, is a series of freshwater springs in the Sinai Peninsula, Egypt, traditionally believed to be the Elim mentioned in the biblical Exodus story. Specifically, it's thought to be the location where the Israelites, after leaving Marah, found twelve springs and seventy palm trees. The site is located about 20 km south of the Ahmed Hamdi Tunnel. That was the only access to the Sinai from Cairo when the Suez Canal bridge was closed for some years due to unrest. The springs themselves are no remarkable looking. There are markets made of palm fronds with bedouin women wearing headscarfs with stunning eyes selling jewellery. Children would be running around playing as well.
