From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  Migdol
     tower. (1.) A strongly-fortified place 12 miles from Pelusium,
     in the north of Egypt (Jer. 44:1; 46:14). This word is rendered
     "tower" in Ezek. 29:10, but the margin correctly retains the
     name Migdol, "from Migdol to Syene;" i.e., from Migdol in the
     north to Syene in the south, in other words, the whole of Egypt.


     
       (2.) A place mentioned in the passage of the Red Sea (Ex.
     14:2; Num. 33:7, 8). It is probably to be identified with Bir
     Suweis, about 2 miles from Suez.
