The answer

Sinai is part of the land of Egypt. It contains Mount Tur, where Allah Almighty spoke to Moses (peace be upon him) a real speech, with a voice that Moses heard, as stated in Allah’s words: "And to Moses Allah spoke directly" (Quran 4:164) and "And when Moses came at Our appointed time and his Lord spoke to him" (Quran 7:143). Moses (peace be upon him) was called from the blessed tree in the sacred valley of Tuwa, as stated in Allah’s words: "And when he came to it, he was called, "O Moses, Indeed, I am your Lord, so remove your sandals. Indeed, you are in the sacred valley of Tuwa." (Quran 20:11-12). It is obligatory to believe in this without asking about the 'how,' because human minds have limited capacities.
