Oyun Musa ("Moses Springs"), found 20 km south of the Ahmed Hamdi Tunnel in South Sinai, are a collection of fresh water springs said to be those in the area referred to as Elim in Exodus 15:27. This would be where Moses went with the Israelites during the Israelite Exodus after he was directed by Yahweh to throw a tree branch, possibly a barberry, into the bitter springs of Marah, making them sweet enough to drink (Exodus 15:25). The springs are located on the main Suez to Sharm el Sheikh road behind a Bedouin village settlement of the same name.
