El Qusier, a small community on the Red Sea coast in eastern Egypt, is a living testament to history. Dating back to pharaonic times, its ancient name, Leucus Limen, meaning ‘white port’ in Greek, echoes the tales of its past.
The fishing harbor’s narrow side streets lead up to an area of tourist bazaars flanking the main street, Sharia Gomhuriya, which ascends to an unmissable and impressive Ottoman citadel. El Qusier is located between Hurghada and Marsa Alam.
Embark on a memorable half-day or full-day excursion to El Qusier. The journey takes you to the heart of the town, where the fort, perched on high ground, commands a panoramic view. The sight of two cannons, brought by the French to protect the town and harbor, is sure to capture your attention. As you explore the bazaars beneath, you’ll feel the echoes of history all around you.
