El-Tor
El-Tor (also transliterated as Al-Tur and At-Tur, ), also known as Tur Sinai, formerly Raithu, is the capital of Janub Sina' governorate of Egypt, located at the Sinai Peninsula. The name of the city comes from the Arabic name of the mountain where the prophet Moses received the tablets from God; this mountain is called Jabal Al Tor.
