The page does not prove that this building was an inn.
Debated. The rooms look like a roadside rest stop, but their exact use still needs study.
The building is in the lost city of Asila, in North Sinai, Egypt. The pottery is linked to the Mamluk period, in the reign of Sultan al-Nasir Muhammad. Walls of mud brick and red brick, with limestone at the base, form many inner rooms. Some rooms may have been shops. Finds include storage jars, pots with an olive-green glaze, pieces painted red and white, and shells of oil lamps. A few sherds may carry part of a sultan name, but that is not confirmed.
More digging is needed before the date and the use of the rooms are sure.
