From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  Elim
     trees, (Ex. 15:27; Num. 33:9), the name of the second station
     where the Israelites encamped after crossing the Red Sea. It had
     "twelve wells of water and threescore and ten palm trees." It
     has been identified with the Wady Ghurundel, the most noted of
     the four wadies which descend from the range of et-Tih towards


     the sea. Here they probably remained some considerable time. The
     form of expression in Ex. 16:1 seems to imply that the people
     proceeded in detachments or companies from Elim, and only for
     the first time were assembled as a complete host when they
     reached the wilderness of Sin (q.v.).
