The tourist city of Sharm El-Sheikh in South Sinai Governorate includes one of the most important airports in the world. The airport was named after the city after Egypt received it from Israel in 1982. It was called Afira International Airport, and it was chosen in a location approximately 20 kilometers away from Sharm El-Sheikh City Council.
The airport has been developed more than once since it was received, and its capacity increased to about 7 million passengers in 2020, after the capacity was 4 million in 2010, and now another development process is underway to increase the capacity to reach 10 million passengers annually, before the climate summit next November.
