A. Neubauer and Tristram thought that the Ladder of Tyre was to be identified with Cape Blanco (Ras el-Abyad), about north of Râs en-Nakûrah and belonging to the same mountain range. According to historical geographer , where the Mount Amana range terminates at the rock cliffs of Râs en-Nakûrah, on this rock is a narrow ascent, shaped somewhat like steps, by which its summit can be reached; hence it is called in the Talmud the Ladder of Tyre.
