The Fortress of El-Quseir - details and images
The Fortress of El-Quseir is located 85 Km from Safaga, and is an Ottoman fortress, that dates from the 16 century.
It was later occupied and modified by the French, and after a huge battle in the 19th century, was then occupied by the British who added a fortified gate.
