The Ministry of Antiquities and the Tourism Promotion Authority agreed to open an Ottoman-era fort in El Quseir to tourists, according to Xinhua. The fort was built in the Red Sea town in 1799 under Sultan Selim’s rule. If you decide to venture out, don’t linger. This fort is maybe worth a quick peek (and perhaps a laugh) on the way down to Marsa Alam for the real tourist attractions: nature and underwater adventures.
