Come Experience Al Quseir Tours

Take a look at the various Al Quseir tours that are available and let us help you choose which ones are right for you and your vacation plans.

Al Quseir, Egypt

The best tours in Egypt would surely include a stop at or around Al Quseir (also spelled Al Qusair), as this port town is a very popular tourist destination, admired for its beach and water sports activities.

The original city (called Leucus Limen) is over 5,000 years old. This port town was always located along the Red Sea and still stands today, just south of Hurghada. Some tourists comment that Al Quseir is the exact opposite of Hurghada. Whereas Hurghada is large and almost rambunctious in its joys, Al Quseir is small, historical and relaxing.

What to See and Do in Al Quseir

What are some things you can do in Al Quseir? First and foremost there is the beach area which lets you relax when you want and get the adrenaline running when you want with its snorkeling or scuba diving activities. Reefs come very close to the shore at Al Quseir, which makes for a great dive. There are some companies in town (including hotel services) that can arrange for outdoor water sport activities.

Another option is to explore the area by way of guided tours by way of four-wheel drive. You can use a 4WD to travel to historical sites nearby such as Wadi Hammamat and Fustat Wadi El Gemal National Park. These luxury tours can be pricey, as there is not much competition and some locations are a great distance away.

The Historical Background

What is the historical significance of Al Quseir? It traces back to the days of the Pharaoh, as this was the famous port that Queen Hatshepsut once left on her trip to the Land of Punt, for some commercial business. Once a city of big business, trading and traveling convenience, Al Quseir is now a tourist attraction, one that offers rest, relaxation and some fun. Even the term “fun” is somewhat laid back, as this is an area with practically no loud clubs or nightclubs, certainly not what you would find in a place like Cairo. The best place to get a drink and chat up with strangers would be in the local restaurants and bars.

Explore Al Quseir by Foot

Another great feature of Al Quseir is that it is an easy town to explore by foot. You can call taxis on your own to get to town (and may even be given one by your hotel service) but many of the best tours in Al Quseir are walking land tours.
