Sharm el-Sheikh has long been the government’s preferred location for conventions and high-level summits. The reason is the easy control government can have over the event. The surveillance for the upcoming event would be tight in the city. The city’s convenient access from the capital of Egypt is another factor for the possibility of the event taking place here.
Sharm’s International convention centre would be the venue for the summit. The venue would be divided into different zones like green and blue and only officially accredited members would be allowed to enter.
The government has set stringent procedures and rules for the rally or march for COP27 in the area.
