Geography Of Sharm el Sheikh

Egypt - Ras El Sudr - Marsa Alam - Luxor - Hurghada - Aswan - Alexandria - Abu Simbel - Sharm el Sheikh

The famed city of Sharm el Sheikh is located in the eastern region of Egypt, on the foreland of the Sinai Peninsula. Situated on the coastline of the Red Sea and at the confluence of the Gulf Of Suez and Gulf Of Aqaba, Sharm el Sheikh is a strategic port and harbor. The sea beach lends Sharm an equitable weather and sets it apart from the scorching dry climate of the rest of Sinai. The greenery and luxuriant overgrowth of the region is a boon of the proximity to such a large water body and the desert seems to melt away in the wake of the clear blue waters. The lush and vibrant marine life of the region is unparalleled. The beautiful reefs and the variety of marine biodiversity bestow the city diving and snorkeling options that attract adventure enthusiasts from across the globe. Sharm el Sheikh also acts as a gateway to the religious centers such as Jabal Musa, famed to be the peak where Moses received the Ten Commandments from God himself. The mineral deposits such as limestone and oil mined from the Sinai Peninsula are traded and transported from this port thus providing it a gigantic economic boost. Tourism still remains the major industry and is encouraged by the easy access available through air, road and water transport services.
