Excavation of Khan Takr in 'Asilah
The excavation works carried out by the Supreme Council of Antiquities in North Sinai have successfully uncovered the remains of an ancient building in the lost city of "Asila." It is believed to have been a khan along the route of the "Darb al-Hajj al-Masri," which connected Egypt with the Arabian Peninsula and the Levant to serve trade caravans and pilgrims. The excavations revealed remnants of mudbrick and red brick walls, along with architectural formations indicating the presence of chambers that were likely used as resting stations for travelers. It is estimated that the site dates back to the Mamluk era, with artifacts such as pottery and Arabic decorative elements, highlighting the site's significance in studying the history of trade and pilgrimage movements in Sinai, as well as its role as part of the historical network of routes that facilitated caravan and traveler movements across Sinai.
