Her first encounter with the Red Sea was in 1987 when she lived on a kibbutz in Israel and traveled to Eilat. This year, to celebrate her 60th birthday, she and her wife returned to the Red Sea, choosing Sharm El Sheikh as their destination. Sharm El Sheikh is located on the southern tip of the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt. It holds a unique status as an Asian city within Egypt and is a highly sought - after tourist destination. The city's year - round warm climate and the wonderful opportunity to enjoy sea life have made it popular. It's even nicknamed the “City of Peace” due to the numerous international peace conferences held there. Lena's adventure began with a snorkeling trip to the coral reef off the island of Tiran in the Gulf of Aqaba. The warm, clear waters provided an excellent chance to observe the 1,000 species of fish that call this area home. When the snorkeling got a bit too cold, they took a ride on the Yellow Sea Scope Submarine, where they could watch fish without getting their feet or hair wet. The town of Sharm is relatively new. It was occupied by Israelis from 1967 to 1982, during which they developed it as a tourist destination. After being returned to Egypt, its growth continued. There are also several mosques in the town, with the Al Sahaba Mosque in the old town being one of the most spectacular. 1. Why did Lena Walton visit Sharm El Sheikh this year A.
