El Quseir (or El Qoseir) is one of the most ancient cities on Egypt’s coast—situated on the Red Sea coast between the two main regions of Hurghada and Marsa Alam. The city is a beautiful oasis of history, relaxation, and nature that is waiting to be discovered. Travelers will have an opportunity to witness and experience authentic Red Sea with the region's most unspoiled beauty.
El Quseir was a prominent port once, where merchandisers and pilgrims going to Mecca passed. Now the town is adorned with old buildings, colonial forts, and traditional coral-stone houses of different eras, which not only beautify the city but also keep telling the stories of its maritime past.
In the present day, El Quseir is the place for those who look for calmness and beauty of nature rather than the party and night life. The coast has serene shores, water as clear as glass, and lively reefs that invite snorkeling and diving. The areas for diving like Abu Dabab and El Quseir Bay that are very close to the town bring extraordinary underwater creatures of all types, from brightly colored fish to gentle giant turtles.
In the middle of town, there are local markets, charming mosques, and nice cafes that give a warm welcome of Egyptian hospitality to the tourists. The slow rhythm of life there and the friendliness of the people make El Quser the perfect spot for relaxation, cultural awakening, and nature-friendly sightseeing.
You can either pull its history apart or traversing its water depths, or just be part of the stunning views of the Red Sea; El Quseir is where the past and the present coexist peacefully with Nature.
