They were just north-east of the Dead Sea. More specifically, they were in the Shittim area (Numbers 25:1, Micah 6:5). This consisted of a plain, Avel Shittim (Numbers 33:49), and the stream or wadi that flows into the north-east end of the Dead Sea, 'the stream of Shittim' (Joel 4:18). The Israelites were to remain there until Joshua brought them across the Jordan (Joshua 2;1, 3:1) (See Ibn Ezra on 25:1).
