 Elim
    trees, (Ex. 15:27; Num. 33:9), the name of the second station
    where the Israelites encamped after crossing the Red Sea. It had
    "twelve wells of water and threescore and ten palm trees." It
    has been identified with the Wady Ghurundel, the most noted of
    the four wadies which descend from the range of et-Tih towards
    the sea. Here they probably remained some considerable time. The
    form of expression in Ex. 16:1 seems to imply that the people
    proceeded in detachments or companies from Elim, and only for
    the first time were assembled as a complete host when they
    reached the wilderness of Sin (q.v.).

From: Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's)
