Sharm El Sheikh,[a] alternatively rendered Sharm el-Sheikh or Charm el Sheikh, is an Egyptian city located on the southern tip of the Sinai Peninsula, in South Sinai Governorate, on the coastal strip along the Red Sea in Asia.[2] Its population is approximately 77,000 as of 2017.[3] Sharm El Sheikh is the administrative hub of Egypt’s South Sinai Governorate, which includes the smaller coastal towns of Dahab and Nuweiba as well as the mountainous interior, St. Catherine and Mount Sinai. The city was historically a fishing town and military base, and was developed into a commercial and tourist-centric city afterwards.[4] The Egyptian government continued and expanded the development, promoting Sharm El Sheikh as a major international resort city. Today, Sharm El Sheikh and its holiday resorts is a significant centre for tourism in Egypt, while also attracting many international conferences, diplomatic meetings and also concerts and clubbing.[5][6] Downtown Sharm El Sheikh has the major concentrations of international banks in the city and is home to several large national companies.[7] The city is home to major hospitals and health facilities, including Sharm International Hospital, the city’s largest hospital and others engaged in health-related care and research.[8][9] Sharm El Sheikh port is the city’s seaport, which lies on the coast of the Red Sea, and the nearest airport is the city’s Sharm El Sheikh International Airport. The Sharm El Sheikh metropolitan area is one of the most visited cities in Egypt, attracting over 10 million visitors in 2024.[10][11] Name[edit]The English name of Sharm El Sheikh is a borrowing of the Egyptian Arabic شرم الشيخ, šarm aš-šayḵ and, as such, does not have a fixed romanisation. There are documented uses of alternate spellings such as Sharm el Sheikh and Sharm el-Sheikh, sometimes within the same news article.[12] Sharm El Sheikh is sometimes referred to as the “City of Peace” (مدينة السلام, madinet es-salām), referring to the large number of international peace conferences that have been held there.[13] Amongst Egyptians and also many visitors, the name of the city is commonly shortened to “Sharm” (Egyptian Arabic: [ʃɑɾm]), which is its common name in Egyptian Arabic. |
