You step out of the air‑conditioned van into a sunlit lane of old Sharm, the air warmed by the nearby Red Sea and flavored with spice stalls and cardamom coffee. The mosque’s white domes rise against a clear blue, and the guide’s voice threads history into the pauses between calls to prayer. From the mosque’s courtyard you can feel the city’s recent growth and the older rhythms of the Sinai at once.
