Quick fact: Hazrat Musa (A.S.) led his people to the Valley of Sinai to escape from Pharaoh.

Explanation

After crossing the Red Sea, which Allah miraculously parted for them, Hazrat Musa (A.S.) led the Bani Israel toward the Valley of Sinai (also known as the Sinai Peninsula). It was here, at Mount Sinai (Tur), that Allah spoke to Hazrat Musa (A.S.) and revealed the Torah (Taurat). The Valley of Sinai thus holds great significance as the place where the Israelites received divine guidance after their deliverance from bondage.

Good to know

The escape of Hazrat Musa (A.S.) and the Bani Israel from Pharaoh is a pivotal event in Islamic history, commemorated on the Day of Ashura (10th of Muharram). After Pharaoh and his army drowned in the Red Sea, the Israelites journeyed through the wilderness toward the promised land. The Valley of Sinai became the site where they camped and where Hazrat Musa (A.S.) spent forty nights in communion with Allah, receiving the divine commandments.
