different vessels at Sharm's harbor
In the 16th century it went under the
name Sarm-us Seyh and was an important harbor for the
Ottoman empire.
During the
Suez Crisis in 1956 it was a
small sleepy fishng village when the Israeli captured and hold it for half a year.
Israel returned in 1967 and this time stayed for
15 years.They developed the place under the name
Ofira, constructed the airport and started touristic facilities for the increasing
number of scuba fans.
Climate and scenery above and below the warm waters of the Red Sea make it a magnet for tourists, both
domestic and European. Each year many Russians flee their cold and snowy winter to hibernate and party at friendly
Sharm.
