Hugging the shores of the Red Sea, the 5,000-year-old gem of El Quseir is a town steeped in history, with a rich legacy of trade and colonial influence. Set slightly back from the beach, its narrow streets are lined with bustling bazaars that have a distinctly Bedouin character, providing a striking contrast to the neighbouring French and British colonial-style buildings.
Your visit to El Quseir kicks off with guided tours of two of the city's most significant religious sites – a mosque and a church. Then it's time to explore the labyrinthine bazaars of the bustling shopping district, where you can browse locally produced artisanal goods and perhaps pick up a bargain – but don't forget to haggle. It's all part of the experience!
