Sharm el Sheikh, Egypt

A hunk of sterile buildings on a plateau commanding docks and other installations, Sharm el-Sheikh has been developed by the Israelis after their capture in the 1967 war. Their main aim was to thwart the Egyptian blockade on the Strait of Tirana and control communication between the land of Aqaba and Suez coasts. Tourism is a reflection - albeit an important, and helps finance the Israeli occupation and settlements, which inherited Egypt between 1979 and 1982. Since then, Sharm infrastructure appears to have evolved in fits and starts, without much increase its appeal. Despite some plush hotels and reams of propaganda on this theme is slick Resort, Sharm el-Sheikh is simply a student of Egyptian workers in the town of Na'ama Bay. In addition to the package by CONNED tourist brochures, but foreigners here divers - drawn by the proximity of Ras Um Sidde and coral - and a few who use their Backpackers cheapish accommodation and get to Na'ama Bay. Sharm is the beach, but the small bay that does not fit into Na'ama and (illegal) daily burning of garbage in the vicinity also detracts from hotels' luxury 'pretensions. But in his defense, Sharm el-Maya is the cheapest in the area to purchase food and has several good restaurants, snack bars and souvenir shops.

It is located off the coast of the tourism, PSV could be better describes what is not there. There is no airport, no control, and no key. There are none of televisions are also not as a telephone in the bungalows, which allows more time with your other important without interruption.
