What does a camping trip look like after 4000 years of sand blasting errosion look like in your opinion?
The desert has completely consumed entire cities that were are just now able to find due to satalite imagery and the cities foundational remains...

If you read the artical you will note that these cities are no where near as old as the time of the exodus.
They are also nowhere near the Sinai desert, which is a completely different type of desert from the Sahara.
The Sahara is covered in sand dunes, which shift and bury things, as well as sand-blasting everything in the desert whenever a strong wind blows.
The Sinai is not sandy at all. It's hard packed dirt and rocks, with a very thin scattering of plants in the wadis, which are narrow gorges carved in the dirt and stone by occasional flash-floods. Archaeologists have discerned evidence of temporary Bedouin camps in the Sinai that are thousands of years old. These are relatively small camps, but they left a mark on the desert floor that was visible from space thousands of years later.
Yet absolutely zero trace has been found of a group of millions of people (along with their livestock) who supposedly spent 40 years wandering through the Sinai.
