El Tur Harbor

El Tor, also romanized as Al-Tur and At-Tur and known as Tur Sinai, formerly Raithu, is a small city nestled along the Red Sea coast, is steeped in history and natural beauty. Located approximately 50 kilometers from Sharm El Sheikh Airport, El Tor derives its name from Jabal Al Tor, the mountain believed to be the site where Moses received the Ten Commandments.

El Tor is an important tourist destination alongside Sharm El Sheikh and Saint Catherine. Visit the therapeutic Moses Springs, known for their sulphuric waters believed to have healing properties for skin and rheumatic conditions. Explore the Temple of Sarabit El-Khadim, an ancient temple north of El Tor, featuring inscriptions from Pharaonic mining expeditions and dedicated to the goddess Hathor.

El Tor's charm lies in its tranquility. Stargaze in the vast desert skies, where the absence of light pollution reveals a breathtaking view of the cosmos. Alternatively, enjoy a serene experience with a felucca ride along the calm waters of the Nile under the moonlight. While shopping options might be limited, explore the Tentmakers Bazaar in nearby areas, where artisans craft beautiful fabrics using traditional techniques. Indulge in delicious Egyptian dates, a specialty of the Siwa Oasis.
