There is a lot of debate about this. There are at least 2 traditional routes that have been prposed, and some more recent ones which have come to be accepted as possible. The scope of this answer is too small to really explain all of the reasons behind potential routes. You could potentially read the wikipedia article on "The Exodus" which may be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Exodus

A:The Exodus from Egypt is the legendary escape of the Israelites from enslavement in Egypt, led by Moses. According to The Bible, the Hebrews were forced to wander for forty years before crossing the River Jordan and conquering the cities of Canaan.

The clear consensus of scholars is that the biblical Exodus of the Israelites was not an actual historical event, although they believe there could be a folk memory involved, such as the Egyptian expulsion of the Hyksos some centuries earlier, or the escape of a small band of Egyptian slaves who travelled north and joined up with the Hebrews living in Judah.

The Exodus. (The word "flight" is not accurate, because the Israelites left Egypt in an orderly fashion under the leadership of Moses, after having been given leave to depart by Pharaoh).
