Things To Do In El Quseir | One Of The Oldest Towns On The Red Sea Coast
El Quseir, translates from Arabic to “the small palace”. It is one of the oldest towns on the Red Sea coast. For centuries, El Quseir was a strategic port. First for the ancient Egyptians, then later for pilgrims traveling to Mecca, and for trade routes connecting the Nile Valley to the Red Sea. The unique location of El Quseir made it a meeting point of cultures. Good news for us as influences from Pharaonic, Roman, Ottoman, and Islamic eras still visible today. Unlike the bustling tourist resorts, El Quseir offers a slower, more authentic experience. History, culture, and the sea all in one place!
When you holiday in El Quseir, step back in time when you visit the Ottoman Fortress and wander the old town’s coral-stone streets. Do take a moment to admire the beautifully restored Sheikh Tawfik House, now El Quseir Hotel. And, a relaxed walk along the Corniche, plus a visit to the historic mosque are definitely worth the time. Plus, if you’re into scuba diving, don’t miss El Quseir’s pristine dive sites, where untouched coral reefs await beneath the waves.
