Wadi Gharandel
Wadi Gharandel is a wadi in western Sinai, Egypt, associated with Elim, the fourth station where the Israelites camped during their Exodus journey away from slavery in Egypt.[1]
Bedouin traditions speak of flash floods in Wadi Gharandel, reminiscent of the re-flooding of the Red Sea in the Exodus narrative [2] once the Israelites had passed through the sea on dry ground. Edward Henry Palmer, the Palestine Exploration Fund's Secretary, undertaking work for the Fund's Sinai Survey in 1869, met with Bedouin who described such floods.[citation needed]
