'''El Tor''' ({{lang-ar|الطور}} ''{{
▲'''El Tor''' ({{lang-ar|الطور}} ''{{transl|ar|ALA|aṭ-Ṭūr}} / {{transl|arz|et-Ṭūr }}'' {{IPA-arz|etˈtˤuːɾ}}), also [[Romanization|romanized]] as ''Al-Tur'' and ''At-Tur'' and known as ''Tur Sinai'', formerly '''Raithu''', is a small city and the capital of the [[South Sinai Governorate]] of [[Egypt]]. The name of the city comes from the Arabic term for the mountain where the prophet [[Moses]] received the [[Tablets of Stone|Tablets of the Law]] from God; this mountain is designated ''Jabal Al Tor''.
At-Tur itself appears to have been founded in the 13th century near the site of the ancient Raythou (medieval ''Raya'').<ref>{{Cite journal|
==History==
===Monastery===
The Raithu desert is situated around El Tor, between [[Saint Catherine, Egypt|Saint Catherine]] and the [[Red Sea]]. It is part of the [[Archdiocese of Mount Sinai and Raithu]] of the [[Eastern Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem]]. The "[[Martyrs of Raithu]]" were 43 [[anchorite]]s (early Christian hermits) murdered by [[bedouin]]s (desert dwellers) during the reign of Emperor [[Diocletian]] (284-305CE). Christian monks fleeing persecutions had been present since the 3rd century, and the Raithu monastery (or Rutho) was commissioned in the 6th century by Byzantine emperor [[Justinian]]. The latter was proposed as a [[UNESCO]] [[World Heritage]] site on November 1, 1994, in the Cultural category.<ref>[https://whc.unesco.org/en/tentativelists/194/ Rutho Monastery - UNESCO World Heritage Centre] Retrieved on 2009-03-26.</ref> [[Theodore of Raithu]] was champion of [[neo-Chalcedonism]] in the early 7th century.
