Sharm el-Sheikh, the picturesque port and resort town located at the tip of the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt, has long been a popular vacation spot for travelers and divers. However, it’s more than just a place for sun-seekers; it’s a spectacular destination for underwater adventurers, as well as an enthralling trip into the desert.
This fascinating locale, characterized by its towering mountain range, lush desert strip, and azure seas, makes one feel as if they’re on a different planet. Just 40 years ago, it was a simple fishing village of only 100 Bedouin inhabitants.
After the 1967 Israeli occupation of Sinai, the area underwent development to become the tourism hot spot it is today. When Israel evacuated Sinai in 1979, Egypt kept the project going and have been continuing to modernize it ever since.
