'''El Tor''' ({{lang-ar|الطور}} ''{{transliteration|ar|ALA|aṭ-Ṭūr}}/{{transliteration|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]] is believed to have 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|last1=Peacock|first1=David|last2=Peacock|author-link1=David Peacock (archaeologist)| first2=Andrew|title=The Enigma of 'Aydhab: a Medieval Islamic Port on the Red Sea Coast|url=https://www.academia.edu/16070958|journal=International Journal of Nautical Archaeology|year=2008|language=en|volume=37|issue=1|pages=32–48|doi=10.1111/j.1095-9270.2007.00172.x|issn=1057-2414}}</ref> The [[El Tor
