Eighty
kilometers south of Safaga is the town of
Quseir. Before
the
construction of the Suez Canal, Quseir was
a major port for
trading
with Africa and the Far East. Few signs of
the ancient
port
remain. A large resort has been built a
few kilometers from
town
where the sea is crystal clear. When
compared to
Hurghada,
El-Quseir has little to offer.
Nevertheless, snorkeling
and
diving sites off the coast of Quseir are
virtually untouched
and
worth checking out. Diving centers in
Hurghada offer a
variety
of boat trips to diving sites south of
Hurghada.
