This gets off Mesorah material, but I am sure that there were many  
travelers in the desert, caravans that passed through, and they named the places  
where they could rest, probably oases and wadis that had water in the  
winter.  The Sinai is not all endless sand like the Sahara.   There are many 
desert plants and animals there, and Bedouins, and in the  Middle Ages, several 
monasteries.  An interesting short article about  the Sinai: 
_http://www.sharksbay.com/new/english/TheSinaiDesert.html_ 
(http://www.sharksbay.com/new/english/TheSinaiDesert.html) 
 
"The Sinai desert is the natural land bridge between Africa and Asia and,  
with its unique dramatic landscape and the fascinating culture of the 
Bedouins,  is one of the most impressive areas of the world"
