If you leave the busy resort of Hurghada and travel south along the coast you will come to the fishing village of El Quseir, which dates back to the 10th century. This small unspoilt resort with its charming old town area has narrow streets, lined with colourful bazaars that have a distinctly Bedouin feel.
This stretch of coastline offers wonderful long sandy beaches, gently sloping into the crystal clear sea, and with a laid back feel to the whole area, El Quseir is perfect for holiday makers looking for fantastic all year round temperatures combined with a relaxing holiday.
The diving in El Quseir, as in most resorts in Egypt, is fantastic for beginners and experts alike with the crystal clear water meaning excellent visibility of the many tropical fish and beautiful coral. For those not wishing to try the full diving adventure the incredible underwater scene is just as spectacular with a snorkel and a pair of flippers, provided by the hotels.
