What guidebooks won't tell you: the best house reefs, where to see dugongs, which hotels really sit on the beach. By Abdelaal, 25 years in El Quseir.
Green sea turtles from the beach, free entry
Sea cows & rays, sightings almost year-round
Boat trip with local guide, barely any tourists
""Without Abdelaal we would never have seen the best spots. No guidebook can do that.""
March–May and October–November: warm, low wind, water 26°C. June–August is hot (>40°C), September is ideal for divers.
Quieter, fewer tourists, better reefs from the beach — less nightlife. Perfect for nature lovers & families.
No — hotels are spread out but hotel shuttles + excursions cover everything. We arrange that for you.
