An-Nekhel Fortress
The Fortress of an-Nekhel is a Ksar (castle) located in the Nekhel Municipality of the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt. It holds a strategic location at the exact center of the peninsula. Excavations at the site have revealed remains dating from Ancient Egypt. It has historically been an important stop and staging ground for Muslim pilgrims undertaking the Hajj or Umra, holy Muslim pilgrimages.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The An-Nakhl fortress, a stage on the pilgrimage route to Mecca )〕
==Mamluk era==
A fortress was built on the site by the Circassian Mamluk sultan Al-Ashraf Qansuh al-Ghawri. A group of French Christian pilgrims in 1483 recorded that there was a great well at an-Nekhel which was called the "Well of the Sultan" because during the pilgrimage season the Sultan employed a man with two camels to draw water all day for the pilgrims. The Frenchmen were on their way to Saint Catherine's Monastery and avoided the well due to uncertainty of the reception they might receive.〔Prescott, H.F.M. (1957) ''Once to Sinai. The further pilgrimage of Friar Felix Fabri.'' Eyre and Spottiswoode. p.60〕
