El Qoseir[note 1] (Arabic: القصير, romanized: el-Qoṣēr, pronounced[elʔoˈsˤeːɾ]) is a city in eastern Egypt, located on the Red Sea west coast. Populated for approximately 5,000 years, its ancient Egyptian name was Tjau,[1] while its ancient Greek name during the Ptolemaic era was Myos Hormos.[2] Historically, it was the endpoint of the Wadi Hammamat trail, an important route connecting Egypt and the Red Sea. El Qoseir is located 138 kilometers south of Hurghada, 130 km north of Marsa Alam and 68 km north of the Marsa Alam International Airport. In 1986, its population was approximately 20,000. Today, the population of El Qoseir is around 50,000.
