We last left the Hebrews trapped on the beach between the sea and the Egyptian army. There are several locations that have been suggested for the crossing of the Red Sea and it is impossible to get a consensus on where the exact location was. We do have clues from scripture, archaeology, history, and even marine biology and bathymetry, that can help us narrow down the most likely place this event could have happened. This video looks at those clues and explains why we think the best candidate for the crossing is at Nuweiba Beach in the Gulf of Aqaba.
