I have an opinion that the Jews crossed the sea near the Suez Canal, but this doesn't match the route, which is described in the Bible + other theories have been refuted. For example, the theory of the passage of the Jews in the Straits of Tirana is no longer valid after the receipt of the Admiralty map of the Tirana area and the entire Gulf of Aqaba and seismic data. Researchers were not allowed to recent years conduct dives and complete exploration of the area here. Let's look together for the real place where they crossed the Red Sea (Red Sea).
Exact Route Bible
When researching the route that the Israelites had to take when leaving Egypt, researchers have found that the biblical description of this exodus is completely consistent. In Exodus 14:1-2, God tells them to turn off the main road and take another road, which the explorers discovered led to the canyon of Baal Zephon (now called Wadi Vatir).
But here it happens something that greatly surprised Pharaoh! He thought that the Jews would go straight (yellow route), but they turned right into the peninsula's dead end (red route).
And then Pharaoh utters the famous words.... “And Pharaoh will say about the children of Israel - they got lost in this land, the desert locked them in" (Ex. 14:3).
The book of Exodus explains how the Lord led the children of Israel “not along the road of the land of the Philistines, because it was close. And God led the people along the desert road to the Red (Red) Sea.” Here a vast desert opened up before them.
Several miles wide from Wadi Watir (Baal Zephon), a vast seashore opens up on the western coast of the Gulf of Aqaba.
Entrance to this coast called Pi-Gahirof, it was the only place that could accommodate 2 million people with their herds.
Path to the North The Israelis were blocked by an Egyptian military fortress. Indeed, to the north of the entrance to the Wadi Watir gorge we discover an ancient fortress, which is the place mentioned in the Bible as Migdol (Exodus 14:2). To the south of the coast, the slopes of the mountains descend directly to the sea, thereby preventing movement to the south.
Tell the children of Israel to turn and camp before Pi-Hahiroth, between Migdolom and between the sea, before Baalzephon; Set up camp opposite it by the sea. (Exodus 14:2)
Moses knew, where these objects were located, having lived in Midian for forty years.
Curious fact (Baal-Zephon)
Fun fact: On the eastern shore of the Gulf of Aqaba, i.e. directly opposite Pi-Gahirofom (modern Saudi Arabia) a few kilometers away there is a place called in Arabic "Saraf El-Bal". In this name, first of all, there is a connection with the name of the god Baal (Baal). The word "Cephon" underwent changes over time and after 3500 years became the Arabic "Saraf".
Fun fact 2: Ruins were also discovered here, presumably serving for religious purposes (a sacred place dedicated by the Midianites to Baal in the area of Zepho or Baal-Zephon). The combination “in front of Baal Zephon” should be understood as “opposite Baal Zephon,” that is, on the other side of the Gulf of Aqaba. This is confirmed by the fact that it was here that the Jews crossed the sea.
Other facts
In memory of the passage through the Red Sea there are two pillars on each shore (in at the moment in Arabia the pillar was dismantled and only the sign remained).
The pillars had inscriptions in Hebrew that read "Mizraim (This is Egypt), Solomon, Edom, Death, Pharaoh, Moses, Yahweh."
Interesting, but only in this place of the entire Gulf of Aqaba is there a surprisingly ideal straight bottom for a comfortable passage for people, livestock and chariots. The entire length of the bay has huge drops, rocks, irregularities, large ledges, etc. but in this place it is direct. This became known only recently when the Arabian government lifted the ban on foreign researchers.
Who cares? there is even a doc on the Internet. a film about this, from a Scandinavian explorer.
Of course the Israelis they could not turn back, as they were pursued by the Egyptian army. God led them to the exact place where He could deliver them from the hand of Pharaoh. And the children of Israel went up into the midst of the sea on dry land: and the waters were a wall to them on the right hand and on the left" (Ex. 14:13, 21-22)
Journey along Mount Sinai from using Google Earth-
Red Sea or Red Sea- euro Yam-Suf.
The Red Sea or Red Sea, through which the Israelites were led by Moses, represents a gulf of the Indian Ocean east of Egypt. The Jews called it the Sea of Suf, i.e. The Sea of Reeds, due to the abundant reeds growing along its shores (Ex. 10:19; 13:18; 15:4, 22; Num. 14:25). The ancients called the Red or Red Sea the entire northwestern part of the Indian Ocean (from the eastern cape of Africa to the mouth of the Indus) with its two gulfs - the Arabian and the Persian, which wash the Arabian Peninsula. The Red Sea mentioned in the Bible is a part of the Arabian Sea, which extends from the Strait of Babelmandeb to Suez, and has a length of about 2000 km. At the northern end, this sea is divided into two gulfs: Suez and Aqaba, which is also called the Red Sea in Tsars. 9:26. These bays, of which the first is about 250 km long, and the second about 160, wash the Sinai Peninsula, former place the wanderings of the Israelites in the wilderness and the publication of the law.
The passage through the Red Sea is narrated in Ex. 14 and is sung in the songs of praise of Moses and the Israelites (Ex. 15:15; Ps. 77; 105; 135). The last Egyptian plague forced the stubborn Pharaoh to release the people of God, and on the 15th day of the first month the people of Israel left Rameses for Succoth in the number of up to six hundred thousand foot men, in addition to women and children (Ex. 12:37). From Rameses they came to Succoth during the night, accompanied by many people of different tribes and very large herds of large and small livestock. Instead of going straight through the land of the Philistines along the shore Mediterranean Sea(Exodus 13:17), they moved south and camped in Ephraim, between the Egyptian and Arabian deserts (Exodus 13:20; Numbers 33:8).
Then the Lord commanded Moses to tell the children of Israel that they should turn and camp before Pi-hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, before Baalzephon (Ex. 14:2). Instead of entering the Arabian Desert between the bitter lakes and the northwestern tip of the Red Sea, Moses turned back towards Egypt, i.e. he moved not in an easterly direction along the right bank of the sea, but along its western shore, towards Pi-Gahirof (perhaps towards the present Ajerud fortress west of Suez). Migdol and Baalzephon were probably located on Mount Attaka, which surrounded the Israelites in front and on the right side, while the sea was on their left and the desert behind them. So, the people of Israel stood here surrounded by desert, mountains and sea, and it is not surprising that they were very afraid when they saw behind them the chariots and horsemen of Pharaoh, with which he, confident of success, intended to bring them back (Ex. 14: 3,10) . Moses tried to pacify the grumbling people, crying out to God with his heart, and received the command to move forward with the people. The Angel of the Lord, together with a pillar of fire, stood behind the people - between the Egyptians and the Israelites, and the pillar of fire was a cloud and darkness for the Egyptians, but for the Israelites it illuminated the road. “Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the Lord drove the sea with a strong east wind all night and made the sea dry land; and the waters parted” (Ex. 14:21). The Israelites walked along the bottom of the sea; the water stood like a wall on the right and left sides. The Egyptians chased them along the bottom of the sea and the Lord drowned them at the time when all the Israelites came to the other side. The Israelites saw the hand of the Lord, feared what they saw and believed the Lord and Moses His servant (Ex. 14:15,30,31).
After crossing the Red Sea, the Israelites, in all likelihood, found themselves in the place that to this day bears the name Ayun Muse, i.e. the springs of Moses, from where they entered the Sur desert. After a three-day journey, they came to Marah, where the bitter water was miraculously made drinkable (Ex. 15:22, 25). Setting off from there, they came to Elim, where there were springs and date trees (Ex. 15:27). After this, on the 15th day of the second month (after the exodus from Egypt) they came to the desert of Sin, between Elim and Sinai (Ex. 16:1). According to Numbers 33:10 They had previously encamped by the Red Sea. Here they last saw the Red Sea and the shores of the land of slavery. From the desert of Sin, the Israelites continued their journey, with short stops in Dophka and Alush, and settled in Rephidim (Ex. 17:1; Comp. Num. 33:12 et al.). From Rephidim they came to the Sinai desert in the third month after leaving Egypt and camped opposite the mountain of the Lord (Exodus 19). Compare "Sinai". Here they remained for about a year, or until the 20th day of the second month of the second year after the exodus from Egypt (Num. 10:11). For the further journey of the Israelites from Sinai to Canaan, see “Wanderings in the Desert.”
; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ) - a long narrow bay of the Indian Sea, separating Arabia from Egypt and Asia from Africa, running from Arabian Aden through the Babel-Mandeb Strait to the northwest to the Sinai Peninsula and here at the southern tip of the peninsula is divided into two branches: one extending to the northeast to Aqaba, the other to the northwest to Suez. The name of this sea is explained differently by the Reds. Some derive this name from the sea grass, which supposedly gives the water a red color, although the water of this bay is actually light, but not red, others derive it from the name of the Edomites who lived near this sea, since the Edomites come from Edom, as Esau was called, their ancestor, and Edom means red in translation. Others, finally, derive the name of the Red Sea from red corals, which have long been abundant in this sea, and they were very valuable () and were the subject of trade by the Phoenicians (). On the eastern branch of the Red Sea and at its northern end, adjacent to Elath, there was a seaside port, mentioned more than once in the Bible - Etzion Gaver. Cm. .
Of particular importance in St. Scripture represents the Red Sea through the miraculous passage of the Israelites upon their exit from Egypt. This event is conveyed in the Bible in the following form: when Pharaoh released the people (Israel), God did not lead them along the road of the Philistine land, but led them along the desert road to the Red Sea. The king of Egypt was told that the people had fled. Pharaoh took six hundred chosen chariots and all the chariots of Egypt, the horsemen and the army and the commanders over them all, and pursued the Israelites and already overtook them by the sea, at Pihahiroth in front of Baal-zephon. The pursuit was already in sight of the Israelis - and their death was inevitable. But the Lord saved them by a special miracle. He said to Moses, Lift up your staff and stretch out your hand over the sea, and they distributed it, and the children of Israel shall pass through the midst of the sea on dry land. Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the waters parted; the waters were a wall on the right and on the left, and the sea became dry land. When the Israelis reached the opposite shore, the Egyptians chased them along the bottom of the sea. Moses, at the command of God, again stretched out his hand to the sea, and by morning the water returned to its place and covered the chariots and horsemen of the entire army of Pharaoh, so that not a single one of them remained. This wonderful event, described in such detail by St. writer, repeatedly mentioned throughout the Old Testament history and in the New Testament (as can be seen from the above quotes), some want to explain it in a natural way, namely, by an ordinary sea tide and a sandy shoal through which the Israelites could wade. But it is known that the high tide of the sea lasts 6 hours and the low tide too, but the transition is possible only during the strongest drop in water and, therefore, no more than two or three hours. Is it possible to allow such short time such a multitude of people, 600,000 husbands, besides wives and children, and in total from 2 to 3 million, with many loaded animals and other large and small livestock, crossed the sea not along a smooth road, but along the bottom of the sea, fording? On the other hand, the Egyptians knew, without a doubt, the time and duration of the ebb and flow of the tides: how did they decide to enter the sea, knowing that after the ebb of the tide the water should go to profit? It is also difficult to explain in a natural way the fact that out of all the numerous Egyptian pursuit led by King Pharaoh, who entered the sea after the Israelites, no one escaped, and everyone died under water, although along the length of the occupied line some should have already crossed to the opposite shore, and others, the rear ones, had only just entered the bottom of the sea. Moreover, the passage across the sea was at the end of the bay, and for the Israelis, not familiar with the place, it was forced by the onslaught of the pursuit, but the Egyptians, familiar with the place, could comfortably and without any risk catch them on the other side by going around. It is clear that the salvation of the Israelites from the Egyptians during the passage through the Red Sea was accomplished through a special action of God's Providence, as the Egyptians said when they entered the bottom of the sea: Let us flee from the Israelites, because the Lord will fight for them against the Egyptians. This transition is inexplicable by natural means.

Red Sea
After the “tenth plague,” Pharaoh’s resistance was broken, and he allowed the Jews to leave the country:
Exodus 12:37. And the children of Israel departed from Rameses to Succoth...
There is no consensus as to where Succoth was located, but many believe that it was located almost next to Pitom, and perhaps it was Pitom. If so, then the Jews, leaving Egypt, headed to the east.
If they had moved north, they would have reached the coast and followed it to Canaan by the direct and shortest route. However, this path was unsafe.
The “Sea Peoples” then captured various areas of the Egyptian kingdom (which can indeed serve as an explanation for the emergence of the dramatic biblical story of the “Egyptian plagues”) and strengthened themselves precisely in that part of the Canaanite coast where the Israelites could immediately encounter them on their way.
The newly freed people of Israel were unable to fight, and would have to face the well-armed, battle-hardened “Sea Peoples,” who would soon make their name in biblical history as the Philistines.
To bypass this place, the children of Israel moved east, which led them to the Red Sea.
Ex., 13: 17–18… God didn't lead him [the Jewish people] along the road of the land of the Philistines, because it is near; for God said: lest the people repent when they see the war, and return to Egypt. And God led the people along a desert road to the Red Sea...
The Red Sea is a narrow, long bay of the Indian Ocean, stretching from southeast to northwest in an almost straight line about 1,450 miles long. The width of this sea is only from 150 to 200 miles, and its shape suggests that it is part of the Great Rift Valley.
This sea is one of the most specific parts of the ocean. It separates the African and Arabian deserts and, due to the small amount of rain, receives insufficient moisture, while evaporating a lot of water under the influence of the sun, which scorches here so mercilessly as almost nowhere else on the globe. Therefore, the Red Sea is much saltier than any other part of the ocean, although water flows constantly into its southern end, which is open to the ocean. At its sheltered northern tip, the percentage of salt in the water rises to 4.1% - compared to 3.5% for the entire ocean.
The name Red Sea is Greek and during Roman times it extended to that part of the Indian Ocean into which the sea opens and which we now call the Gulf of Aden, the Arabian Sea and the Persian Gulf.
Why is this sea called Red? There are a lot of conjectures on this matter. The waters of this sea may take on a red color due to microscopic algae, its shores may be littered with red shells (or red rocks), or a reddish glow may appear on the surface of the waves from the rays of the setting sun (as viewed from Arabia). It is possible that none of these guesses are correct.
