The ghost town of Sharm El Sheikh: How bombings, political turmoil and a plane crash have left Egypt's tourist hotspots deserted with abandoned hotels and empty beaches
Some 15million visitors a year were heading to the country up until the 2011 Arab Spring, but that had dropped to just 9million in 2014. And this stunning collection of photographs reveals abandoned landscape of deserted beaches, unfinished hotels and a country in crisis. Married photographers Andrea and Magda have documented the Sinai region including resorts such as Sharm El Sheikh and Nuweibaa. They spent nine months touring the area after finding more and more of the places they had previously visited were closing down. Pictured: A man sweeps the floor ahead of an Arabian Nights sound and light show in the shadow of a fake Sphinx in Sharm (left) as the city extends towards the desert, with more hotels and staff housing being built - including many unfinished (centre), and a stray camel searches for food in a bin (right).
