G-d came from Sinai shone forth to them from Seir [the territory of Esau] and made an appearance from Mount Paran ([Ishmael’s territory]. From the holy myriads, He brought the fire of a religion to them from His right hand. Although there is love for nations, all Your holy ones are in Your hand. They follow Your footsteps and uphold your word – Opening of Moses’ last words and blessings -- Deuteronomy 33:2-3

Paran is first a wide area which has been known as Bedu et-Tih or the wilderness of wandering. Some of the stations in this wilderness area are mentioned in Numbers in chapters 17 through 36. Probably all 18 stations, mentioned between Hazeroth and Kadesh, were in Paran. It is first mentioned in Gen. 14:6
Mount Paran only occurs in two poetic passages of the Old Testament. In Deut. 33.2 and Hab. 3:3. It most likely denotes the northwestern most member of the Sinaitic mountain group which lies adjacent to the Wady Feiran.
I do not know its full significance in the final blessing of Moses.

Paran is the northern part of the Egyptian or Sinai Peninsula...
So it is likely that it is talking about some elevated region there....

The map from "keyway.ca" is incorrect in the way it shows the route of the Exodus...
But it is correct in the way it shows the geographical information....
