Dor dwelling, the Dora of the Romans, an ancient royal city of the Canaanites (Joshua 11:1, Joshua 1:11; Joshua 1:12). It was the most southern settlement of the Phoenicians on the coast of Syria. The original inhabitants See m never to have been expelled, although they were made tributary by David. It was one of Solomon's commissariat districts (Judges 1:27; 1 Kings 4:11). It has been identified with Tantura (so named from the supposed resemblance of its tower to a tantur, i.e., "a horn"). This tower fell in 1895, and nothing remains but debris and foundation walls, the remains of an old Crusading fortress. It is about 8 miles north of Caesarea, "a sad and sickly hamlet of wretched huts on a naked sea-beach."
