Wilderness of Sin

A dry, sandy region in the southwest part of the Sinai peninsula. The Bible tells us it was located "between Elim and Sinai" (Exodus 16:1). It is mentioned only four times in the Bible in the descriptions of the journey of the exodus from Egypt (Exodus 16:1; 17:1; Numbers 33:11–12). The wilderness of Sin is located southeast of Elim, which is generally thought to be the Wadi Gharandel.
