An ancient site in the Sinai that was the location of a series of successive fortresses from the Persian through the Roman periods. It may be identifiable with the Greek name Magdolos and/or the Hebrew name Migdol. There is also some speculation that much earlier textual evidence for a fortification of Ramses III should be tied to this site as well.
