Exodus 14:3

The wilderness is the Egyptian wilderness, a tract of desert land lying between the Nile and the Red Sea. To the south, in front of the advancing host, rose an impassable mountain chain, so that they found themselves entangled in the land.

7. The Egyptian chariots were low two-wheeled cars open behind and drawn by two horses abreast. Each chariot contained a driver and a warrior, sometimes two. The chosen chariots were probably those of the king's bodyguard. The Hittites are known to have brought 2,500 chariots into the field against Rameses II.
