Egypt

Al Qusair City

Al Qusair City sits along the Red Sea coast in Egypt, acting as a gateway to Red Sea diving. While the city itself is a modest urban center, divers typically use nearby coastal access to reach local dive centers and boats launching from larger hubs along the Red Sea. The area offers warm, clear waters with typical reef and pelagic opportunities at nearby sites, and a range of budget-friendly options for entry-level to intermediate divers. Note that there aren’t many local dive centers within the city itself, so planning usually involves day trips to established operations along the coast.
