“…They were all in search of something. Some may have found it while for others it has remained elusive. Whatever the outcome, through reading these stories one cannot help but ponder what he or she is searching for as well.”

“... If one has chosen to live in South Sinai it is because of its magnetic energy that is derived from the colourful Red Sea, the divine Sinai desert with its majestic mountains and valleys, and nally the Bedouin who know this environment only too well and have educated most of us living here.”

 

Hesham Gabr / South Sinai resident since 1982

 

 

 

“This book is not only a photography book, nor is it a collection of personal memories; it reveals the spirit of South Sinai with portraits of the very people who started it all. They believed in the place and lived in perfect harmony, developing the otherwise desert place into a world-renowned resort. Hence, the story of Sharm el-Sheikh is by all means the story of its pioneers whose vision has been attracting millions of visitors from around the world. The images in this book re ect the true spirit of South Sinai as I once experienced it. Those were the days.”

 

Wael Abed / Loved and lived in Sharm (from 1984 to 1994)
