El Raha Plain is dotted with prehistoric sites date back to Upper Paleolithic (37,000-34,000 BCE) and Pre-Pottery Neolithic (B) (6,700-6,000 BCE). El Raha Plain is recognised as the traditional location where the Israelites encamped at the foot of Biblical Mount Horeb. Naqb El Hawa has acted as the entry gate to Mount Sinai (Biblical Sinai) and Saint Catherine Monastery for pilgrims, travellers and scholars since 4th century CE, marked by scattered Byzantine monastic structures (4th-7th centuries CE). Al Sana' family from Al Hamayda quarter of the Gebaliya tribe lives at El A'gramiya area. Abu Sila village is located at the northwestern end of El Raha Plain and is occupied by other families: Abu Ghanayim, and Li'fali, Abu G'is, Duquni, Abu 'lLwan and Abu Kirshan, from Awlad Silim and Awlad Gindi quarters respectively.
