Why you’ll love this…
  • Explore the labyrinth bazaars of the shopping district
  • Admire locally produced artisanal goods and souvenirs
  • Visit the two of the city's hubs of religious significance
What to expect

Hugging the shores of the Red Sea, the 5,000-year-old city gem that is El Quseir is a town steeped in historical, colonial and trading significance. Set back slightly from the beach, the town's narrow streets are lined with heaving bazaars, which have a decidedly Bedouin accent – providing a stark contrast to the bordering French and British colonial-style buildings.

Your visit to El Quseir kicks off with guided tours of two of the city's hubs of religious significance – a mosque and a church. Then it's off to explore the labyrinthine bazaars of the teeming shopping district, where you'll pick up a bargain on locally produced artisanal goods – but don't forget to haggle. It's all part of the experience!

    Die Stadtrundfahrt mit Besichtigung am Hafen und der Kirche Santa Maria waren informativ. Der Besuch der Moschee war sehr,sehr lang gezogen worden. Inhaltlich wurde viel über den Islam erzählt und er hörte nicht auf seine Religion anzugreifen. Anschließend wurden wir zu zwei ausgewählten Souvenierläden gefahren,an denen keiner interessiert war. Wir hätten alle gern einen Kaffee getrunken und die Läden in der Altstadt...keine Chance. In Deutschland wäre dieser Ausflug eine sogenannte -Kaffeefahrt

    Why? Waste of time! Market closed by the time we got there. Shopping was one gift shop and one perfume shop. 'Old church' was built in the 2000s. Nothing to see in Mosque.

    Der Ausflug war generell gut organisiert und der Guide war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Allerdings war es sehr ärgerlich, dass bei der Burg auf einmal Eintrittsgeld in Höhe von je 5 € gezahlt werden musste, was so nicht in der Beschreibung stand und der Eintritt laut Internet vorort nur 1€ pro Person kostet. Auch der Bazar war leider nur 1 großes Geschäft. Aber die Krönung g war ein sogenanntes Beduinenzelt, dass auch nur aus einem geschlossenen Verkaufsraum bestand. Sonst topp!

    Der Anfang der Tour mit Besuch der Moschee war in Ordnung der Guide sehr nett aber unter "Labyrinthartigen Basaren" stelle ich mir definitiv etwas anderes vor. Wir wurden zu einem Souveniershop gefahren, wo uns ein Verkäufer durch den gesamten Laden verfolgt hat, damit wir auch sicher etwas kaufen und anschließend wurden wir zu einem weiteren Geschäft gefahren, wo wir schon erwartet und in einen separaten Verkaufsraum geführt wurden, wo uns diverse Produkte gezeigt wurden, die wir kaufen sollten

    Alles war toll organisiert, unser Reiseleiter Omar sprach perfektes Deutsch, was sehr freundlich, kompetent und aufmerksam! An sich ist die Stadt nicht besonders spannend, daher nur die 8 in der Gesamtbewertung. Aber da kann der Veranstallter nichts dafür ?? die machten das beste draus!
