What did Moses do in Midian?
According to the Bible, Moses, after killing an Egyptian, fled to the land of Midian in the desert area above the great Rift Valley, east of the Gulf of Aqaba in north-western Arabia. Medieval Arab geographers still referred to this region as the land of Midian; today it is known as the Hijaz. There Moses married the daughter of the Midianite priest Jethro. During this initial episode in Midian, Moses experienced the theophany of Yahweh in the thornbush, which was blazing but was not consumed (Exod. 3:1-4:17). After the Exodus from Egypt, Moses returned with his followers to the same 'mountain of God' in Midian, where he received the Ten commandments and sealed the covenant between God and his people. Moses' father-in-law, the priest of Midian, counselled him about implementing an effective judicial system among the Israelites, apparently based on one already in use among the Midianites (Exod. 18.13-27). On the other hand, the near-consensus of scholars is that there was no Exodus from Egypt as described in the Bible, but many believe that the frequent generally favourable references to Midian, here and elsewhere, point to a folk memory of the origins of belief in the God the Hebrews called YHWH (Yahweh). There is evidence that the god of the Midianites was a storm god they knew as YHW, and this god might have been the forerunner of the Hebrew God, YHWH. Research suggests that someone, not necessarily called Moses, or perhaps a small group of escaping slaves could have taken word of the Midianite god to the Israelites, where he was adopted as a Hebrew God. On this view, the Exodus is an epic elaboration of that folk memory.

Note: Moses never, in his entire lifetime, set foot in the "Promised Land".
Can you find a Moses timeline?
The life of Moses can be divided into 3 major periods of 40 years in length. Moses spent the first 40 years in Egypt as a prince of Egypt, next 40 years in the land of Midian (northwest Arabian Peninsula) as a shepherd, and the last 40 years as leader of the Israelites in the Sinai and Moab regions. Rabbinical Judaism calculated a lifespan of Moses corresponding to 1391-1271 BCE.
