Best Answer

The Question is based on an error. They spent the 40 years in more than one region. Most of it (over 90%) was in the Sinai wilderness/desert, but part of the time they were in the area east of Edom, east of Moab, and the Mount Hermon environs. Most of these places (other than the Sinai) are in present-day Jordan; and a detailed map of Jordan, to this day, reveals some of the place-names stated in the Torah.
