The house of ghosts in Al-Qusair: The story of Sheikh Tawfiq’s enduring legacy

In the center of Al-Qusair on the Red Sea coast, the house of Sheikh Tawfiq Ali Mustafa tells chapters of a history that spans more than a century. This house was known among the locals as “the house of ghosts” before it was converted into a heritage hotel that reflects the spirit of the city and its ancient features. The house combines Islamic architecture with a local character inspired by the sea, becoming a distinctive model for the revival of old houses and their transformation into landmarks that preserve Al-Qusair’s identity and bring its forgotten heritage back to life.
