Encyclopedia > Sharm el Shaikh

Sharm el-Sheikh is a city situated on the southern tip of the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt, on the coastal strip between the Red Sea and Mount Sinai.


Sharm el-Sheikh's major industry is foreign tourism. The calm and clear waters of the Red Sea provide an ideal location for various watersports, and particularly for recreational diving and snorkeling (which many consider to be among the best in the world). Ras Mohammed is the southern most tip and a national park which serves to protect this great area of wildlife. A number of large international hotels and noted restaurants have been constructed some 40 kilometers further northeast, as have a number of golf courses and other leisure facilities.


Sharm el-Sheikh serves hub the southern Sinai, including the smaller Dahab and Mount Sinai. The airport sees almost no scheduled flights, but many tour operators fly regularly to and from it, particularly to Italy, Germany and the United Kingdom.

Coral Days (1385 words)
It was not till later on after spending a couple of months in Sharm El Sheikh that the reality downed upon me after a number of other cases that I've seen one after the other pointing to such a discovery.
But perhaps the absence of pollution in Sharm El Sheikh, the excellent weather, the scenery and everything in the environment there is behind this 'anti-aging' phenomenon.
Anyway, regardless of the reasons behind this phenomenon I noticed in Sharm, the thing is it does work and the hundreds of people living and working in Sharm are live examples present out there to prove it.
