El-Sisi and Peace in Sharm El-Sheikh: A Historic Visit by the U.S. President Redrawing the Map of the Middle East   Introduction: Egypt at the Heart of Global Events In a defining moment that drew the eyes of the entire world, Egypt welcomed the President of the United States on a historic visit to Sharm El-Sheikh, the city long hailed as the “City of Peace.” The visit came during one of the most critical periods in the modern history of the Middle East, as the Gaza–Israel conflict intensified and global calls for diplomacy grew louder.   By selecting Egypt — and specifically Sharm El-Sheikh — as the destination for this visit, the U.S. President sent a clear message: that Egypt remains the beating heart of regional stability and the trusted voice of peace in a turbulent region. The meeting between President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi and the U.S. President went far beyond protocol. It was a strategic dialogue, touching upon major global concerns: The future of Palestinian–Israeli relations, Cooperation in energy and sustainable development, Tourism and cultural diplomacy, And Egypt’s mediating role in Middle Eastern conflicts. Once again, Sharm El-Sheikh emerged as a crossroads where peace, diplomacy, and tourism meet — a living symbol of Egypt’s leadership and stability under President El-Sisi. — Chapter One: President El-Sisi’s Vision for Regional Peace Since assuming the presidency, Abdel Fattah El-Sisi has pursued a clear doctrine: that peace is not weakness, but wisdom; and stability is the foundation for prosperity. His policy has redefined Egypt’s regional and international standing, turning Cairo into the anchor of balance and rational diplomacy. El-Sisi’s vision rests on three principles: 1. Dialogue over conflict, 2. Development over division, 3. Cooperation over isolation.   Through this philosophy, Egypt has become a key player in resolving the most complex regional disputes — from Libya and Sudan, to the Gaza Strip, and beyond. He has consistently emphasized that sustainable peace can only be achieved through justice, mutual respect, and development. Under his leadership, Sharm El-Sheikh has been transformed into a global capital of peace. The city has hosted countless international gatherings, such as the UN Climate Change Conference (COP27), the World Youth Forum, and major Arab–African summits. These conferences have not only enhanced Egypt’s diplomatic image but also showcased its capacity to combine tourism, environmental responsibility, and international dialogue in one place — Sharm El-Sheikh.

  Chapter Two: The U.S. President’s Visit — A Strategic Turning Point When the U.S. President’s plane touched down at Sharm El-Sheikh International Airport, it marked the beginning of a visit that would make history. President El-Sisi personally received his American counterpart, accompanied by senior officials and members of the Egyptian cabinet. The city was fully prepared for the event. Egyptian authorities implemented a comprehensive security and logistics plan, ensuring that the visit would proceed smoothly and safely. The seamless coordination among Egypt’s Presidency, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Interior, and Armed Forces reflected the nation’s ability to handle world-class diplomatic events with professionalism and dignity. During their closed-door talks, the two leaders discussed the Gaza–Israel crisis, the future of Palestinian statehood, and the protection of civilians. President El-Sisi reiterated Egypt’s steadfast position: > “There can be no lasting peace in the Middle East without justice for the Palestinian people and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state on the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital.”   Beyond the conflict, both presidents discussed bilateral cooperation in renewable energy, tourism, maritime security in the Red Sea, and higher education. The American leader expressed deep appreciation for Egypt’s constructive diplomacy, describing the visit as “a renewal of trust and partnership between Cairo and Washington.” — Chapter Three: Egypt’s Leadership in Resolving the Gaza–Israel Crisis For decades, Egypt has been the linchpin of peace efforts between Palestinians and Israelis — and under President El-Sisi, this legacy has grown stronger than ever. As violence escalated in Gaza, Egypt launched a high-level mediation campaign involving continuous communication with all relevant parties. The Egyptian Foreign Ministry, alongside the General Intelligence Service, played a central role in negotiating ceasefires, coordinating humanitarian aid, and maintaining dialogue between conflicting sides. President El-Sisi made it clear that Egypt rejects the logic of war and advocates for a return to political negotiations. He stated that Egypt’s duty is moral and historical — to stand with justice, humanity, and peace. During the summit, Egypt and the United States agreed to establish a joint humanitarian task force to oversee aid distribution in Gaza and to facilitate dialogue aimed at achieving a durable ceasefire. The initiative was praised globally, and media outlets described Cairo as “the only voice capable of bridging divides in the Middle East.” — Chapter Four: The Leaders’ Summit in Sharm El-Sheikh The U.S. President’s visit was followed by a mini-summit of regional and international leaders, held in Sharm El-Sheikh under the auspices of President El-Sisi. It brought together leaders from the Arab world and Europe to discuss the broader future of the Middle East. In his opening remarks, President El-Sisi called for a comprehensive vision for peace, saying: > “True peace is not imposed — it is built through understanding, respect, and shared development. Egypt’s hand is always extended to those who seek justice and progress.”   His words resonated deeply, earning global attention. Observers described the meeting as “a new blueprint for peace in the Middle East”, and international media hailed Egypt as “the bridge between East and West.” The summit resulted in several key agreements, including expanded humanitarian corridors, increased trade cooperation, and shared projects in renewable energy and infrastructure. Egypt’s leadership was once again confirmed as the anchor of stability in the region. — Chapter Five: Egypt’s Organization and Readiness Behind the success of the visit was an extraordinary effort by Egyptian authorities. Weeks before the summit, South Sinai Governorate, together with national institutions, implemented an integrated plan to enhance infrastructure, security, and aesthetics throughout the city. Roads were repaved, public lighting upgraded, and resort areas beautified. The Ministries of Tourism, Defense, and Interior worked in harmony to guarantee a flawless experience for both delegations and residents. Security operations were discreet yet highly effective, maintaining a peaceful atmosphere for tourists and citizens alike. The balance between tight security and warm hospitality impressed international observers and reinforced Sharm El-Sheikh’s image as a safe, welcoming, and world-class destination. The American delegation commended Egypt’s efficiency, discipline, and hospitality, emphasizing that the visit “reflected Egypt’s global standards of organization and respect.” — Chapter Six: Sharm El-Sheikh — The Global City of Peace Sharm El-Sheikh’s story is one of transformation — from a quiet coastal town to a symbol of peace, dialogue, and progress. It is a place where nature meets diplomacy, and where the Red Sea’s beauty mirrors Egypt’s spirit of openness and coexistence. Known for its diving spots, coral reefs, and five-star resorts, the city has become a magnet for leaders and tourists alike. Under El-Sisi’s leadership, it evolved into the stage for global conversations about climate, youth, and peace. The city has hosted major events such as: COP27 (UN Climate Change Conference) The World Youth Forum The Arab-African Summit The Peace and Security Forums During the U.S. President’s stay, he was housed in one of the city’s serene Red Sea resorts, where the combination of mountain scenery and tranquil seas created a perfect setting for constructive dialogue. Sharm El-Sheikh thus reaffirmed its title as “The City of Peace” — not only in name, but in spirit and reality. — Chapter Seven: The Visit’s Impact on Tourism and the Egyptian Economy The visit’s positive impact on Egypt’s image was immediate. Within days, international media showcased breathtaking images of Sharm El-Sheikh, describing Egypt as “a nation of peace and stability.” Travel agencies across Europe and the U.S. reported a surge in bookings to Egyptian destinations, particularly Sharm El-Sheikh and Hurghada. The renewed global attention strengthened Egypt’s position as one of the safest and most attractive tourist destinations in the world. Economically, the visit opened the door for new American investments in renewable energy, green hydrogen, and sustainable tourism infrastructure. These projects are expected to create thousands of jobs and further integrate Egypt into the global economy. The tourism sector, which already contributes significantly to Egypt’s GDP, is now poised for a new golden era — with Sharm El-Sheikh at its forefront. — Chapter Eight: El-Sisi’s Diplomacy — Wisdom and Balance President El-Sisi’s approach to foreign policy has been defined by balance, patience, and foresight. During his meetings in Sharm El-Sheikh, he did not limit discussions to Gaza alone; he also addressed issues such as climate change, energy security, African development, and the global food crisis. This holistic perspective elevated Egypt’s standing as a global partner, not just a regional player. The U.S. President praised El-Sisi’s leadership, noting his ability to navigate complex challenges while maintaining Egypt’s stability and international credibility. Observers described El-Sisi’s diplomacy as “a model of pragmatic leadership that prioritizes peace over power.” His message was clear: Egypt will always defend its sovereignty, yet it will also build bridges instead of walls. — Chapter Nine: Redrawing the Map of the Middle East One of the most significant outcomes of the summit was the launch of a new regional initiative — a roadmap toward rebuilding Gaza, promoting cooperation, and integrating regional economies. Egypt proposed a Middle East Peace and Development Framework, supported by the United States and several Arab nations. The initiative focuses on three main pillars: 1. Humanitarian support and reconstruction in Gaza, 2. Cross-border energy and trade corridors linking Africa, Asia, and Europe through Egypt, 3. Dialogue-based conflict resolution mechanisms to replace the cycle of wars that has plagued the region for decades.   This framework positions Egypt not just as a mediator, but as a central architect of a new Middle East — one built on stability, cooperation, and shared prosperity. — Conclusion: Egypt — The Land of Peace and Leadership The U.S. President’s visit to Egypt and Sharm El-Sheikh will be remembered as a milestone in modern diplomacy. It reaffirmed Egypt’s status as a pillar of stability, a champion of peace, and a gateway between continents. Under President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi’s leadership, Egypt has reemerged as the heart of the Middle East — a nation that leads through wisdom, not domination; through partnership, not isolation. Sharm El-Sheikh, once again, stood as the world’s meeting point — where leaders discuss peace, and the world rediscovers Egypt’s timeless strength and hospitality. In the words of one international journalist: > “Egypt is not only the cradle of civilization — it is the compass of peace.”   As the world looks toward the future, Egypt continues to chart a steady course — one guided by El-Sisi’s vision of peace, justice, and cooperation. From the land of the pharaohs, a new message echoes to the world: > “Peace from Egypt… for a balanced and brighter Middle East.”
