Sharm Egypt Overlooks the Straits of Tiran

December 26th, 2008

Sharm Egypt is an incredible city overlooking the Starits of Tiran.  It is mainly a fishing village which leads into a port and a naval base for its navy.  During 1956 Sharm El Sheikh was captured by Israel during the Sinai conflict but given back to Egypt in 1957. This city is beautiful to visit with its typically Egyptian landscape; dessert mountains in the back drop, palm trees and beautiful landscape lining the streets. Visiting any time of the year, you can expect hot summer like days and cooler dessert filled nights.  Current day, the city is in peace and is ruled by Egypt.
