Sharm El Sheikh International Airport is the third busiest airport in Egypt, after Hurghada International Airport and Cairo International Airport.
The airport was opened on 14 May 1968, originally as an Israeli Air Force base. It became a public airport in 1979.
The airport has two terminals. The largest, Terminal 1, was opened on 23 May 2007, and at 460,000 square feet, it has around 5 million passengers per year.
Terminal 2 is the site of the original airport building and was actually the first terminal to be opened. Modernised in 2004, it is set to be expanded further.

Famed for its marine life, Sharm El Sheikh attracts hordes of divers every year. It's also a popular destination for winter sun-seekers with an abundance of resorts to choose from.
