El Quseir is a small quiet city and port with a long, significant past. Its history ranges from; the troops of the Queen Hatschepsut through to the pilgrims of the Sultan on the way to Mecca; from the Roman Zenturionen until the Arabian traders of the Renaissance: during the last 4000 years many have used this remote outside post on the coast of the Red Sea as a starting point for exploration, extentions and trade with the far away oriental lands.
El Quseir is the only historical city on the Red Sea, at the end of 18th century even Napoléon landed on the reef directly offshore to the today's Fanadir Holiday Resort
From here he conquered the impressive Otto-manic fortress of Sultan Selim in the heart of the city centre. Recently renovated this unique monument has now been equipped with a visitor's centre.
El Quseir is a lovely, ambitious place and offers quiet, extensive beaches. The local reef system provides excellent diving on pristine corals with crystal clear water. Located approximately 1 km south of El Quseir, the Hotel Fanadir, provides the perfect base to connect the adventure of diving with the calming of the authentic ambiance.
The Fanadir Holiday Resort is located directly on the red sea. Here you can enjoy a tranquil holiday, far away from hectic everyday life and experience the fascination of authentic Egypt with a true oriental flair.
