LOL. The biblical Moab is east of the Jordan River in Israel, and so is Mt. Sinai, except much further South. I am of the opinion the Israelites crossed the Red Sea at a northerly coast on the eastern tip, into modern day Saudi Arabia, partly because an ancient pillar (from the days of Solomon) stands on each side of that crossing.

I think they generally place Moab east of the southern part of the Dead Sea, in the present-day Kingdom of Jordan. Ammon was north of Moab (including the area where the city of Amman is now—that is where Uriah was serving with the Israelite army at the time of David’s affair with Uriah’s wife Bathsheba). Ammon was east of the southern part of the Jordan River and the northern part of the Dead Sea.
