Opinion:
As Joshua 3:1 mentions 'Acacia Grove' which is Shittim in the Hebrew, some have thought this place to be on the Eastern side of the Jordan in Ammon (modern Jordan). He makes the Israelite camp at Gilgal which means he travelled west. His first campaign is the central one against Jericho, Bethel, and Ai all west of the Jordan. Now on the western side, he does his southern campaign against cities as far south as Debir.

The crossing of the Jordan River in biblical history symbolizes a transition from wandering in the wilderness to entering the Promised Land. It marks a pivotal moment of faith, obedience, and God's faithfulness in leading the Israelites to their new home.
Two specific miracles were the parting of the Jordan River to allow the Israelites to cross on dry land and the falling of the walls of Jericho after the Israelites marched around the city for seven days. These signs were given to demonstrate God's power and reaffirm His promise to drive out the inhabitants of the land in fulfillment of His covenant with the Israelites.
Moses crossed the red sea in order to escape from the Egyptians and slavery. After they crossed the Red Sea, they wandered around for 40 years. At last, they were guided by God to the promised land which they had to cross the Jordan River to enter. Unfortunately Moses died just before they entered the promised land, so the Israelites were guided by Joshua. So the Red Sea: escaping from slavery in Egypt. The Jordan River: entering the promised land.
