Egypt says concrete wall will protect Red Sea resort – Authorities in southern Sinai hope 36-kilometer defense rampart could revitalize tourism in the area after it has been dented by Islamist militants and COVID-19 pandemic | ynetnews

Egypt says a recently constructed 36-kilometer (22-mile) concrete and wire barrier encircling Sharm el-Sheikh will help protect tourism at the Red Sea resort on the southern tip of the Sinai peninsula.
Authorities in southern Sinai hope to revitalize tourism which has been dented by upheaval after Egypt’s 2011 uprising, the crash of a Russian passenger jet in Sinai in 2015 and the coronavirus pandemic. In 2005, bombings in Sharm el-Sheikh killed dozens in one of Egypt’s deadliest militant attacks.
