'Welcome Back to School' Market Opens in El Quseir With Discounts of Up to 30 Percent
A back-to-school exhibition selling supplies at up to 30 percent below retail has opened in El Quseir, Ahram Gate reports. Its location, hours and closing date were not given.

A 'Welcome Back to School' exhibition has opened in El Quseir selling school supplies at discounts of up to 30 percent, Ahram Gate reported on 7 September, publishing photographs from the opening.
The report gives the discount level and the fact of the opening. It does not say where in the town the exhibition is held, what its opening hours are, how long it will run, or which suppliers are taking part.
'Ahlan Madares' markets are a fixture of the Egyptian late-summer calendar: governorates and consumer-protection bodies set up temporary outlets selling uniforms, bags, exercise books and stationery below retail in the weeks before term begins, as a direct answer to how sharply the cost of kitting out a school-age child has risen.
El Quseir is one of the smaller towns on this coast, roughly midway between Safaga and Marsa Alam. Its residents otherwise buy school supplies locally at whatever the shops charge, or make the drive up to Hurghada for a wider choice. A discounted market held in the town itself removes that journey.
The opening follows other back-to-school activity along the coast. Hurghada News has reported on the 'To School' campaign reaching the Red Sea with supplies and food support, and on the Red Sea Education Directorate's instructions to schools before the new year begins.
For families in El Quseir, the practical question is how long the exhibition stays open — the one detail the report does not give.
