In the southeastern corner of the resort are the ruins of a Roman fort, once housing about 200 soldiers of the Ala Nova Maximiana camel cavalry unit. There were bastions at all four corners of the wall, and entrances on the northern and western sides. The latter entrance has an inscription revealing it was established in 309-311 during the rule of Aurelius Maximianus Inside the walls there were barracks, warehouses, stables, and the commander's house. During the 7th century the fort was used as a church for Coptic Christians, and later it was possibly a destination for pilgrimage.

نفس الصحراء / Nafas aṣ-Ṣaḥrāʾ
A landscape artwork, created west of the resort between 1995 and 1997 after a design by Greek artist Danae Stratou. It's made up of 89 big cone-formed pits and heaps arranged like a spiral. In the middle there was a pond, 30 m in diameter that has long evaporated. The artwork has intentionally been left to deteriorate through erosion.
