What is Sharm el-Sheikh?
Sharm el-Sheikh, or “Sharm” as it is also known, is an Egyptian city located at the furthest southern tip of the Sinai Peninsula, in the Janub Suia region. It is located between the Red Sea and Mount Sinai above the Strait of Tiran in the Gulf of Aqaba. Only in the last half of the 20th century has Sharm el-Sheikh evolved from a quiet fishing village to the world class luxury tourist and international meeting destination it is today.
