Sharm El Sheikh(Egyptian Arabic:شرم الشيخ,IPA:[ˈʃɑɾmeʃˈʃeːx],literally "bay of theSheikh"), alternatively renderedSharm el-Sheikh,Sharm el Sheikh,orSharm El-Sheikh,is an Egyptian city on the southern tip of theSinai Peninsula,inSouth Sinai Governorate,on the coastal strip along theRed Sea.Its population is approximately 13,000 as of 2023[update].Sharm El Sheikh is the administrative hub of Egypt's South Sinai Governorate, which includes the smaller coastal towns ofDahabandNuweibaas well as the mountainous interior,St. CatherineandMount Sinai.It was historically a fishing town and military base, and was developed into a commercial and tourist-centric city in 1968 by Israel.[2]Today, the city and holiday resort is a significant centre for tourism in Egypt, while also attracting manyinternational conferencesand diplomatic meetings.
Name
[edit]The English name of Sharm El Sheikh is a borrowing of theEgyptian Arabic"شرم الشيخ",šarm aš-šayḵand, as such, does not have a fixedromanisation.There are documented uses of alternate spellings such as Sharm el Sheikh and Sharm el-Sheikh, sometimes within the same news article.[3]
Sharm El Sheikh is sometimes referred to as the "City of Peace" (Egyptian Arabic: "Madinet el-Salam"), referring to the large number ofInternational Peace Conferencesthat have been held there.[4]
Amongst Egyptians and also many visitors, the name of the city is commonly shortened to "Sharm" (Egyptian Arabic:[ʃɑɾm]), which is its common name inEgyptian Arabic.
Geography and history
[edit]
Sharm El Sheikh is on a promontory overlooking theStraits of Tiranat the mouth of theGulf of Aqaba.Its strategic importance led to its transformation from a fishing village into a major port and naval base for theEgyptian Navy.It was conquered by Israel during theSuez Crisisof 1956 and returned to Egypt in 1957. AUnited Nationspeacekeeping force was stationed there until 1967 when it was ordered to leave by Egyptian PresidentGamal Abdel Nasser,a fact that precipitated theSix-Day Warduring which it wasreoccupied by Israel.Sharm El Sheikh remained under Israeli control from 1967 until the Sinai Peninsula was returned back to Egypt in 1982, after theEgypt–Israel peace treatyof 1979 that was signed inWashington, D.C.[5][6]During that time, an Israeli settlement namedOfirawas built in the area.[7]In 1968, Israel opened an air force base there which functions today as theSharm el-Sheikh International Airport.[8]Unlike Sinai's other well-known settlement,Yamit,Ofira was not demolished after Israel ceded control of Sinai to Egypt following theCamp David Accords,but was returned intact and is today a thriving tourist town and home to local Egyptian residents.[9] Egypt's then-presidentHosni Mubarakdesignated Sharm El Sheikh asThe City of Peacein 1982 and the Egyptian government began a policy of encouraging further development of the city. Egyptian businessmen and investors, along with global investors contributed to building several mega projects, including mosques and churches. The city is now aninternational tourist destination,and environmental zoning laws limit the height of buildings to avoid obscuring the natural beauty of the surroundings.[citation needed]
A hierarchical planning approach was adopted for theGulf of Aqaba,whereby the area's components were evaluated and subdivided into zones, cities and centers. In accordance with this approach, the Gulf of Aqaba zone was subdivided into four cities:Taba,Nuweiba,Dahaband Sharm El Sheikh. Sharm El Sheikh city has been subdivided into five homogeneous centers, namely Nabq, Ras Nusrani,Naama Bay,Umm Sid and Sharm El Maya.
Sharm El Sheikh city, with Naama Bay, Hay el Nour, Hadaba, Rowaysat, Montazah andShark's Bay[d]form a metropolitan area.
The site off the shore gun emplacements at Ras Nasrani oppositeTiran Islandis now a diving area.[10][11][12]
In 2005, the resort was hit by theSharm El Sheikh terrorist attacks,which were carried out by an extremistIslamistorganisation targeting Egypt's tourist industry. Eighty-eight people were killed, the majority of them Egyptians, and over 200 were wounded by the attack, making it the second deadliest terrorist attack in the country's history.
The city has played host to a number of important Middle Eastern peace conferences, including the 4 September 1999 agreement to establish Palestinian self-rule over theGaza Strip.A second summit was held at Sharm on 17 October 2000 following the outbreak of the second Palestinianintifada,but it failed to end the violence. A summit was held in the city on 3 August 2005 on developments in the Arab world, such as the situation in theArab–Israeli conflict.Again in 2007, an important ministerial meeting took place in Sharm, where dignitaries discussed Iraqi reconstruction.[13]TheWorld Economic Forumon the Middle East was hosted by Sharm El Sheikh in 2006[14]and 2008.[15]
Amidst the2011 Egyptian protests,then-president Mubarak reportedly went to Sharm El Sheikh and resigned there on 11 February 2011.[16]
In November 2022, the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP27) was held in Sharm El Sheikh.[17]This conference led to the firstloss and damagefund being created.[18]

Economy and tourism
[edit]
Sharm El Sheikh's major industry is foreign and domestic tourism, owing to its landscape, year-round dry climate with long hot summers and warm winters and its long beaches. Its waters are clear and calm for most of the year[citation needed]and have become popular for various watersports, particularly recreationalscuba divingandsnorkeling.There is scope for scientific tourism due to the diversity of marine life: 250 different coral reefs and 1000 species of fish.[citation needed]
These natural resources, together with its proximity to tourist markets in Europe, have stimulated rapid growth in tourism in the region. The number of resorts has increased from three in 1982 to ninety-one in 2000. Guest nights also increased in that period from sixteen thousand to 5.1 million. International hotel companies that currently operate in the city includeAccor(Mövenpick,Novotel,Rixos),Deutsche Hospitality(Steigenberger),Four Seasons,Hilton(DoubleTree),Marriott(Renaissance,Sheraton), andRotana,with categories of three to fivestars.In 2007, the first aqua park hotel resort opened in the area. The four-star Aqua Blu Sharm Resort was built on the Ras Om El Seid, with an area of 133,905 square metres (1,441,340 sq ft).
Sharm is also home to a congress center, located along Peace Road, where international political and economic meetings have been held, including peace conferences, ministerial meetings, world bank meetings, and Arab League meetings.[citation needed]The Maritim Sharm El Sheikh International Congress Centre can host events and congresses for up to 4,700 participants.
There is nightlife in Sharm El Sheikh. The colorful handicraft stands of the local Bedouin culture are a popular attraction.[citation needed]Ras Muhammad National Park,at the southernmost tip of the peninsula, has been designated a national park, protecting the area's wildlife, natural landscape, shoreline andcoral reef.There are a number of international hotels and restaurants in the centre of Sharm, in the area known as Naama Bay, with golf courses and other leisure facilities further up the coast.
TheNabq Managed Resource Protected Areais a 600-square-kilometre (230 sq mi) area of mangroves, coral reefs, fertile dunes, birds and wildlife.[28][29]
As of 2012, nationals from the EU and the US do not require a visa for travel to Sharm El Sheikh if the visit is for fourteen days or less, although those travelling outside the Sinai area may still require a visa, which is purchasable for a small fee on arrival.[30]Visitors are often ushered into a queue to buy a visa after entering the airport upon landing.
Flight incidents
[edit]On 23 August 2015,Thomson AirwaysFlight 476, approaching Sharm El Sheikh at the end of a flight fromLondon Stansted Airportwith 189 passengers aboard, took evasive action to avoid a missile traveling toward it.[31]the missile missed the airliner by about 1,000 feet (300 meters), and the plane landed safely. A UK investigation concluded that the missile was anEgyptian armed forcesmissile that had strayed from a military exercise, although the Egyptian government said the flight was never at risk.[32]
On 31 October 2015, while flying from Sharm El Sheikh to Saint Petersburg,Metrojet Flight 9268was destroyed by a bomb above the northern Sinai following its departure from Sharm El Sheikh International Airport, killing all 224 people on board,[33]Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) claimed responsibility for this incident. This caused the repatriation of British and Russian tourists from 5 November 2015.[34]Following these events, many countries ordered all flights to Sharm El Sheikh be suspended.[35]These suspensions were gradually lifted as the security situation improved, with the UK government ending its ban on direct flights on 22 October 2019.[36]The process of lifting flight suspensions was completed on 9 August 2021, when the first direct flight from Russia since November 2015 (operated byRossiya Airlines) landed atSharm El Sheikh International Airport.[37]
Transport
[edit]Lampposts on El Salaam Street use solar power. Taxis and buses are numbered for safety.
Sharm's marina has been redeveloped for private yachts and sailing boats, with a passenger terminal for cruise ships.

Scuba diving and water sports
[edit]Sharm El Sheikh has become a popular location for scuba diving[38]as a result of its underwater scenery and warm waters. Other beach activities include snorkeling, windsurfing, kite-surfing, para-sailing, boating, and canoeing.[citation needed]
Ras Muhammad National Parkis located at the southernmost tip of the Sinai Peninsula where the waters of the Red Sea and Gulf of Suez meet, producing strong currents and providing a habitat for diverse marine life. Two reefs popular with divers are Shark Reef, a vertical wall descending to over 800 metres (2,600 ft), and Yolanda Reef, the site of the wreck of the Yolanda.[citation needed]
The Straits of Tiran are located at the mouth of the Gulf of Aqaba and in a major shipping lane. There are four reefs there, each named after one of the British cartographers who first mapped them: Gordan, Thomas, Woodhouse and Jackson. In summer months, hammerhead sharks swim in schools near the reefs.[citation needed]
The Sharm El Sheikh Hyperbaric Medical Center was founded in 1993 by theEgyptian Ministry of Tourismwith a grant fromUSAID,to assist with diving-related medical conditions.[citation needed]
Shark attacks
[edit]On 1 December 2010, four tourists − three Russians and a Ukrainian − were attacked and injured by anoceanic whitetip sharkor sharks in three separate incidents off Sharm El Sheikh. One victim lost a leg, and another an arm. The Egyptian authorities claimed that the shark responsible for the attacks had been captured alive, but the identification was disputed by the diving industry, based on eyewitness and photographic evidence.[39][40]Four days later, on 5 December, an elderly German woman was attacked and killed by a shark while snorkeling at the resort.[41]
