El Quseir is the Red Sea’s oldest port with a rich and fascinating, but largely forgotten, history that stretches back to Pharaonic times. (For a detailed timeline of the town’s history) The fishing harbour’s narrow side streets lead up to an area of tourist bazars flanking the main street, Sharia Gomhuriya, which ascends to an unmissable and impressive Ottoman citadel where Napoleon’s troops fought the British.
EL QUSEIR MARKET AND SHOPS
The town offers a large number of traditional tourist friendly bazaars along Sharia Al Gomhuriya which lies below the castle selling the usual array of papyrus, alabaster statues, t shirts and leather goods etc. However there as also some fascinating local markets, especially on a Friday, to which the Ababda and Ma’aza Bedouin and other local farmers bring their produce.
