We drove alongside the Red Sea for some distance, and stopped the bus when the sun was setting at 4:30pm to see Ain Hawarah (Ayn Hawwarah), said to be where the Bible communities of Marah and Elim were located, which the Israelites traveled through during the Exodus. Marah is the place of bitterness while Elim is the place of fruitfulness, advancement, progress and fulfillment. You cannot get to Elim until you have gone through Marah.
We also passed through the Wilderness of Sin, one of the places which the Israelites wandered through during their Exodus journey. ('Sin' is a local word meaning 'the moon'.)
