They did not travel to a mountain on the Sinai Peninsula that is named Mount Sinai. This mountain on the Sinai Peninsula was erroneously chosen to be the Mountain of God, where Moses received the Ten Commandments. The mountain erroneously chosen as Mount Sinai does not fit the description in the Bible, but this does not detract from the fact the Ten Commandments are, without question, unique to the Old Testament.
The real Mount Sinai is in Saudi Arabia. The mountain in Saudi Arabia fits the exact description found in the Bible. Not only is Mount Sinai clearly described, but so is nearby Mount Horeb, which has the requisite cave that qualifies it as the mountain of God, where the prophet Elijah spent time seeking God, after Jezebel, so to speak, put a contract out on him.
The Sea of Reeds does not fit the required biblical description and has been demonstrated ad nausea to be of no value in understanding the Exodus.
