You step out of a cool, air‑conditioned van into a wash of bright light and the distant call of prayer — Sharm El Sheikh’s city center moves with a measured, coastal rhythm. The day begins at Al Mustafa Mosque, its twin 72‑meter minarets puncturing the sky while carved stonework and white illumination give the building a quiet theatricality after dusk.
