Sharm el-Sheikh

So I'll leave that because that is sensitive and classified.

With regards to the region and those outside of Iran, look, I cannot express to you the significance, the tectonic geopolitical significance of not just what the president did with the Abraham Accords in the first administration, and then with Sharm el-Sheikh.

Remember, he invited the then Ayatollah to Sharm el-Sheikh.

That's incredible.

Now, to quote a certain Indiana Jones movie, he chose poorly, did not attend, and then wound up dead a few months later.

Picture this, okay.

You're in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt.

It is January 3, 2004.

Right.

And normally when you hear the name Sharm El Sheikh, you instantly think of like sunny beaches, you know, crystal clear water and vacationing European families just enjoying themselves.

A massive tourist destination.

Exactly.

You really have to look at the geopolitical context of the time and the location to understand why.

Their families thought that they were going to be murdered.

And the president's policies of peace through strength led to a breakthrough at Sharm el-Sheikh when me and Jared met with Hamas, and they came home.

And there was this event in the East room and the president came over to me and I promise you, I could see the emotion and the tears in his eyes because every one of these families were telling him that, but for him, their boy or their girl was not, was not going to come home.

And he turned to me and he said to me, Steve, I've been in the white house for four years in my first term.

Right.

So we can't just guess Sharm el-Sheikh yet.

No, we have to wait for the official diplomatic announcement before projecting the logistics of the event.

And the exact dates in 2028 also remain unconfirmed.

What, what's Egypt like outside of the pyramid area?

So Sharm el-Sheikh is, like, a beach city.

Beautiful.

That's where y'all was at?

Yeah, it was great.

That was, that was like, "God is amazing." Abu Simbel's older, more chill.

Um, Sharm el-Sheikh is like a beach, chill town.

So it had a lot of different stuff.

But hotels along that coast are not touching their prices this year.

Some 90% of the properties in Mursa, Alam, Hurghada, and Sharm will hold their rates as is.

Altaf Abdullatif of the Marsa Alam and South Sinai Investors Association told us that the freeze is deliberate and that operators want it that way.

And here's why.
