About El Quseir
In the village of El Quseir, which dates back to the 10th century, you can still get a feeling for the traditional Egyptian fishing way of life. Once it was the largest shipping port of the Red Sea, the beginning for expeditions to Yemen and Somalia. In the village centre stands an old fort dating back to the Ottoman Empire. Spread all along the coast are now a handful of hotels and resorts. Approximately 100km north of El Quseir is an airport to which a few airlines fly.

About Marsa Alam
Spread approximately 10 km apart, along the 180km long coastline of Marsa Alam, are the resorts on the provincial road. In between, there is nothing. The village of Marsa Alam offers little for entertainment apart from two cafes and a few mosques. Shops, restaurants and outdoor cafes are wanting. About 100 km to the north of the village is an airport to which a few airlines fly.

About Nuweiba
Nuweiba was once a northern Bedouin settlement in the Sinai. During the last few decades the town has flourished into a seaside and harbour resort. Many beachside hotels and resorts are situated along the coast. Here you will find more luxury than Dahab with fewer crowds than Sharm el-Sheikh. From Nuweiba you can charter a boat to Akaba in Jordan, or a bus can take you to Dahab and on to Cairo. Nuweiba is a two hour drive from the airport near Sharm el-Sheikh.
