"During the exodus, following their crossing of the "Red Sea" or Sea of Reeds, Moses led the Israelites southward in Sinai. For three days they traveled this desolate terrain without finding any place to replenish their water. At Marah they found a large spring but the water was undrinkable. Yet, God graciously used Moses to carry out a miracle which enabled the people to have water for themselves and their flocks. This was their first noted encampment after crossing the sea, their next being at Elim.
The traditional location of this site, and certainly one that features a great spring in a desert region, is called Moses' Spring or Ayun Musa. This small oasis, south of Suez, has several below ground springs which allow some large palm trees and other plants to flourish. One large spring expels a great quantity of water into a pool, any excess of which is quickly absorbed into the desert sands." (Attribution: http://www.bibleistrue.com/qna/pqna57.htm)
